The Assam Jatiyatabadi Yuva-Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) has urged the Centre to extend the online self-enumeration deadline for Census 2027, citing floods and landslides that left thousands without electricity or internet. In a memorandum, the organisation also demanded expedited PMAY-G housing aid for eligible families in Sivasagar and Charaideo districts, along with special livestock support for affected farmers. Meanwhile, Revenue Minister Keshab Mahanta announced that Aadhaar linking will be mandatory for flood resettlement assistance after duplicate bank account details were found during door-to-door surveys. The government has halted transfers and will use a mobile app to complete damage assessment in 10-12 days for the four worst-hit districts. Mahanta warned of legal action against village heads who manipulate beneficiary lists.
