The Communist Party of India (Marxist) organized a protest rally in Assam on October 7, 2026, demanding a judicial inquiry into the causes of the June floods and immediate relief for flood-affected people in eastern Assam. The protestors also demanded measures to halt rising prices of essential commodities and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police detained more than 2,000 protestors following scuffles during the march.
