Golaghat remains the worst-affected district, with nearly 70,000 people impacted by the floods. Sivasagar has around 40,000 affected people, while more than 16,000 people have been affected in Jorhat.

The government is set to introduce four Bills in the Lok Sabha on Monday as Parliament’s Monsoon Session continues, including proposals concerning tribunals, mining regulations, the name of Kerala and cooperative development.

Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal will introduce the Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026. The proposed legislation seeks to improve the functioning of tribunals while providing for greater independence, transparency and uniformity in the qualifications, appointments and service conditions of their chairpersons and members.

Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy will introduce the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026. The Bill seeks to further amend the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957.

Kerala name change Bill

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will introduce the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026, which proposes changing the name of the state of Kerala.

Shah will also seek leave to introduce the National Co-operative Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, which seeks to further amend the National Co-operative Development Corporation Act, 1962.

NCDC Bill seeks wider lending role

The government is also set to take up the National Cooperative Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha.

According to the Bill circulated to Lok Sabha members, the proposed amendment seeks to broaden the mandate of the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC), allowing it to provide loans and grants directly to cooperative societies or entities involved in the development of the cooperative sector.

The NCDC is a statutory organisation under the Ministry of Cooperation and was established in 1963 under the National Co-operative Development Corporation Act, 1962.

Its functions include planning, promoting and financing programmes related to the production, processing, marketing, storage and export-import of agricultural produce, foodstuffs and other notified commodities.
