The big floods in Assam have mostly stopped, but many people still can't go home because their houses are damaged or covered in mud.
The central government, led by Home Minister Amit Shah, has promised full help to clean up and rebuild.
A special team from the government checked how bad the damage is.
The weather office says more heavy rain is expected in the next few days, which could make things worse.

Floodwaters receded but thousands displaced, homes damaged, roads blocked.

Inter-Ministerial Central Team completed damage assessment.
