The Ground Reality from Assam | Sushmita Goswami | Faye D'Souza

Every year, Assam braces for floods. But this year, the scale of devastation has once again raised difficult questions. How many lives have been lost? Why does Assam continue to flood so severely? Could more have been done to protect people? And what happens to families long after the floodwaters recede? In this conversation, I speak with a senior journalist from The Press Trust Of India, Sushmita Goswami to understand the crisis from the ground. We discuss the official death toll, the impact on villages, the causes of the floods, rescue and relief efforts, the role of mud and silt in prolonging the devastation, the effect on agriculture and livelihoods, and whether claims about a dam release in Nagaland hold up to scrutiny. If you want to understand what is happening in Assam beyond the headlines, this conversation provides the context and answers. #AssamFloods #Assam #Floods #Brahmaputra #ClimateChange #India #BeatrootNews Join my channel to get access to perks:    / @fayedsouza   For more news and updates, download the Beatroot News App: https://www.beatrootnews.com/download Follow Faye D’Souza on Social Media Instagram:   / fayedsouza   Twitter:   / fayedsouza   Facebook:   / fayedsouzaofficial
