The flood situation in Assam continued to remain grim with the number of affected people rising to over 1,8000,000 till date. The Brahmaputra River and its tributaries have burst their banks, flooding roads, highways and villages in more than half of the region’s 32 districts. Floods have damaged roads and cut off communication in several districts. As many as 31 people have reportedly died till today and scores of animals have either been killed, washed away or are endangered.
The situation will remain critical in the coming days, as heavy monsoon rains have been forecasted for the next couple of days in Assam.
