According to Pratidin Time, the flood situation in the Indian state of Assam remains critical, with the official death toll reaching 89. The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) reported two additional fatalities within the last 24 hours, identifying the victims as residents of the Sivasagar and Golaghat districts, including one child.
The ongoing deluge continues to impact 10 districts across the state, including Jorhat, Charaideo, Dhemaji, Dibrugarh, Kamrup Metropolitan, Biswanath, Lakhimpur, and Nagaon. Authorities report that 28 revenue circles and 365 villages remain inundated, leaving an estimated 122,137 people affected by the rising waters.
Assam frequently experiences severe flooding during the monsoon season, which often results in significant displacement and infrastructure damage. Local disaster response teams remain deployed in the affected areas to provide relief and monitor water levels. The state government continues to coordinate with district administrations to manage evacuation efforts and provide essential supplies to those stranded in the impacted regions.
The report is consistent with ongoing seasonal monsoon reporting in the region and cites a specific, identifiable government authority (ASDMA). While no international wires have corroborated these specific figures today, the data is presented as a standard disaster management update.
