Times Now Hindi reported that Assam has moved into a recovery phase focused on damage assessment. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said a door-to-door survey would document losses to homes, land, livestock and property so compensation can be tied to actual damage rather than broad estimates alone. The approach is important because flood recovery often stalls when official figures do not match what families see on the ground.
