According to Pratidin Time, the death toll from the ongoing floods in Assam has risen to 95, following the confirmation of six additional fatalities over the past 24 hours. The data, released by the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) on Wednesday, highlights a worsening situation as heavy rainfall continues to impact multiple districts across the state.
The ASDMA reports that the recent casualties occurred in the districts of Golaghat, Sivasagar, Biswanath, and Morigaon. The flooding has now affected over 1.6 lakh people across 14 districts, including Lakhimpur, Charaideo, Kamrup (Metro), Jorhat, Dhemaji, and Nagaon. Authorities have issued fresh flood warnings as water levels remain critical in several low-lying areas.
Assam frequently experiences severe flooding during the monsoon season, which often results in significant displacement and infrastructure damage. Local disaster management teams remain on high alert, coordinating rescue and relief operations to assist those trapped by rising waters. Officials continue to monitor weather patterns closely as the state braces for further potential rainfall in the coming days.
The report is based on data from the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), which is the official body responsible for flood monitoring in the region. While the story is currently single-sourced, it is internally consistent and aligns with typical reporting patterns for regional monsoon-related disasters in India.
