Over 11.50 lakh people in 23 districts of Assam are still affected by the severe flood causes, which is the result of major rivers like the Brahmaputra flowing above risks. There have been 48 deaths as a result of the storms, landslides, and flooding this year.
To evaluate the situation following embankment violates, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma traveled to the Golaghat district, where he spoke with the impacted communities and coordinated relief efforts. A cabinet meeting to review the flood situation in different districts is scheduled for Wednesday.
The worst-hit areas are Lakhimpur, Darrang, and Golaghat, where many people have been displaced. Significant effects are also seen in Kaziranga National Park, where wildlife is endangered by flooded forests. The Chief Minister oversaw the enforcement of traffic regulations on highways as part of animal protection measures.
With over 2.90 lakh people taken in and sheltering in 490 relief camps, rescue operations involving civil administration, the SDRF, NDRF, Emergency Services, and the Air Force are still underway. Roads, bridges, and embankments have all sustained damage, making it more difficult for the state to control the flooding.
