Assam Flood Death Toll Reaches 47, Over 7 Lakh Affected

The death toll from severe flooding in Assam has risen to 47, with six more fatalities reported in the past 24 hours, according to an official bulletin. Over 7.21 lakh people across 11 districts have been affected by the deluge. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma attributed the unprecedented devastation to localized heavy rainfall, which was 436% above normal, combined with cloudbursts upstream in the neighboring state of Nagaland. The floods have submerged vast areas, damaging crops and infrastructure. Relief efforts are underway, with rescue teams deployed to assist stranded residents. Authorities are monitoring the situation as water levels in major rivers remain high. The affected districts include some of the most populous regions in the state, and thousands have been forced to seek shelter in relief camps. The Assam government has urged central agencies to provide additional support. The monsoon season has intensified across northeastern India, raising concerns about further flooding in the coming days. The official bulletin noted that the number of affected people has increased significantly compared to previous reports. No further details on the victims have been released.
