Sarma stressed that simple relief isn't enough, promising to rebuild the worst-hit spots like Nepalikhuti, Bihubor, Betbari, and Nimaichan.
Already, over 75,000 families got ₹15,000 each for urgent needs and home repairs.
Plus, more than ₹160 crore has been sent under the PM Surya Ghar scheme to help people in Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat, and Golaghat districts.
Severely impacted families will get another ₹10,000 soon.
