More than 1200 villages have been destroyed in floods in Assam, with 12 people killed so far.

The flood situation in Assam has worsened considerably, with over 1,254 villages in 22 districts inundated, affecting over 5.35 lakh people. The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) reported 12 deaths from floods and landslides in the last four days. Widespread inundation Across the State Heavy monsoon rains have caused major rivers to overflow, including the Brahmaputra and Barak, resulting in widespread flooding in areas like as Sribhumi (previously Karimganj), Cachar, Hailakandi, Lakhimpur, and Nagaon. The downpour has inundated homes and farmlands, as well as crippled transportation and communication networks. Relief and rescue operations are underway. In response to the disaster, officials have constructed 165 relief camps, sheltering nearly 31,000 affected people. Rescue teams, including members of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), are actively involved in evacuation and relief operations. Agricultural and Economic Impacts The floods have destroyed approximately 12,610 hectares of agricultural land, endangering the livelihoods of thousands of farmers. The loss of crops and cattle has prompted questions about food security and economic stability in the impacted areas. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has done aerial assessments of affected districts and assured citizens of comprehensive relief measures. The state government is working with central agencies to speed help and restoration. The India Meteorological Department has anticipated further rains in the region, which could exacerbate the flood scenario. Residents in risky locations should stay alert and follow government recommendations.
