Assam government sends ₹15,000 to 62,696 flood-hit families for cleanup
Assam to aid 15,000 more families 
To ease the burden a bit more, families who lost loved ones will receive ₹900,000 each; there's a six-month loan moratorium; July's electricity bill is waived; and land tax is exempted for one year.
Another 15,000 families are set to get aid once their bank details check out.
If you're from Sibsagar or Charaideo and can't return home by August 9, there's an extra ₹10,000 coming your way.
The government will start checking permanent damages next week and says the assessment will be completed within 10 days, after which compensation for rebuilding homes will be disbursed.
The floods have been devastating: 85 lives lost and over 100,000 people affected.
