Heavy rains have turned Assam's seven districts into a disaster zone, with 100 fatalities and more than 1.3 lakh people displaced or suffering damage.
Recent monsoon rains have swollen the Brahmaputra and its tributaries, causing widespread flooding across Assam's seven districts. Rescue teams have reported that the deluge has submerged villages and cut off road links, making access to affected areas difficult.
The Assam government has confirmed 100 fatalities and more than 1.3 lakh people have been affected, either displaced or suffering property damage. The death toll has risen sharply in the past week as the rains intensified.
In response, state authorities have set up relief camps in the hardest‑hit districts and deployed the Assam Police, Army, and local volunteers to conduct search and rescue operations. Water pumps and temporary shelters have been distributed to those who have lost homes.
Officials warn that the monsoon season is still expected to bring heavy rainfall, and they urge residents to stay alert and follow evacuation orders.
