Cinema VinesTV actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee has taken to social media to share the distressing impact of the latest Assam floods on her family. In a tear‑filled Facebook Live session, the actor revealed that her mother is trapped in the flood‑hit town of Nazira, while her grandmother and aunt’s homes have been completely submerged. Bhattacharjee, who grew up in Sivasagar and Nazira, said she could not bring herself to record a new video because of the emotional toll, adding, “I’m so sorry. This is the reason I haven’t been able to make a video. I knew I would break down.” She also noted that her old family house, though in a flooded area, has not been fully destroyed.
During the live broadcast, Bhattacharjee urged fans to contribute to relief efforts for the affected districts. She highlighted the devastation in Sivasagar, Chariadeo, Jorhat, and Golaghat, where the Assam government has already released the first tranche of interim relief, amounting to about ₹160 crore for more than 75,000 households. Each family in the worst‑hit areas received ₹15,000, and subsidies under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar scheme were also made available to eligible victims.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who has been touring the hardest‑hit districts in Upper Assam, announced these measures from Dibrugarh. He said the relief fund would cover the needs of severely damaged houses and that donations would be directed to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. The floods have already claimed 85 lives, with three additional deaths reported on Sunday, while the number of affected people has dipped to 135,000.
Bhattacharjee has been actively involved in supporting relief operations, sharing Instagram stories that show a truck full of essential supplies being dispatched to the flood zones. Her emotional appeal underscores the personal stakes of the disaster, as her mother remains stranded and her relatives face complete loss of property. The actress’s public call for assistance reflects a broader push by the state and its citizens to address the urgent humanitarian crisis caused by the monsoon‑driven deluge.
