According to Pratidin Time, the flood situation in the Indian state of Assam has reached a critical stage, with the total death toll rising to 75. The latest figures follow the report of seven additional flood-related fatalities within the last 24 hours. These statistics were provided by the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), which identified Sivasagar district as the site of the most recent casualties.
The ASDMA bulletin indicates that the deluge is currently impacting seven districts across the state, including Sivasagar, Charaideo, Golaghat, Jorhat, Nagaon, Sonitpur, and the Kamrup Metropolitan district. The ongoing weather event has affected approximately 332,639 people, with floodwaters submerging 622 villages. Local authorities continue to monitor water levels and manage relief operations for displaced residents.
Assam frequently experiences severe flooding during the monsoon season, which often results in significant infrastructure damage and displacement of rural populations. The state government and disaster management agencies are currently engaged in rescue and relief efforts to mitigate the impact on affected communities. Further updates are expected as the ASDMA continues to assess the extent of the damage in the impacted districts.
