Floods in Assam Prompt Calls for Census Deadline Extension
IN · Published Aug 7, 2026
The Assam Jatiyatabadi Yuva-Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) has requested the Indian government to extend the online self-enumeration deadline for the 2027 Census in Assam.
Recent floods and landslides have severely impacted the state, leaving thousands of families unable to complete the process due to disruptions in electricity, internet connectivity, and loss of essential documents.

Impact & Risks

The floods have disrupted the lives of thousands of families in Assam, particularly in districts like Sivasagar and Charaideo. Many residents have lost their homes, essential documents, and access to basic services, making it difficult to participate in the Census 2027 self-enumeration process. The situation has also affected farmers and livestock owners, jeopardizing their livelihoods. Without timely intervention, the socio-economic recovery of these communities could face significant delays, further exacerbating their hardships.
