The destruction has left hundreds of workers and their families without any source of income, as factories that sustained the local economy now lie silent. Business owners who spent decades building their enterprises face an uncertain future. The floods have crippled the region's industrial backbone, turning once-thriving pockets into scenes of devastation with no clear timeline for recovery. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com Tags: Assam floods, flood aftermath, industrial damage, livelihoods, Sivasagar, stone crushing units Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/assam-floods-destroy-sivasagar-industries-leave-hundreds-jobless/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
