Taking to his official social media accounts, the musician spoke directly to his audience about the scale of destruction currently unfolding across his home state. Highlighting the severe impact on local communities, human life, and wildlife, Papon emphasised that the current situation is far worse than typical annual flood cycles.

Addressing the public, Papon stated, "Hello everyone, hello India, hello world. I mean, I just wanted to bring to notice what’s happening in Assam right now. The devastation that’s happened because of the floods this year. It rains a lot here, there are floods, but you can’t imagine the situation this time."

Detailing the extent of the tragedy, he added, "Villages are flooded, people are still homeless, hundreds of people are missing, people have lost their lives…so many animals have died. It’s a bad situation, so please spread the word."

Calling for unified, immediate action to help those in need, the singer urged, "I request everyone in India and across the world to please, you know, look towards Assam. It’s humanity, you know, we all must come together, whatever we can do, and we need to do it quick. We’re all doing our bit here. If you want to help, please come forward."
