Floods in Assam kill 97 people
At least 97 people have died due to widespread floods in the state of Assam in northeastern India. The floods have affected around 170,000 people, as rivers overflowed and water inundated their homes, forcing thousands to seek shelter in temporary relief centers. Additionally, over 14,000 hectares of agricultural land have been submerged, according to official sources. The Indian Health Minister indicated that the extent of the destruction is significant, and it is expected to take a long time for the situation to return to normal. Flooding during the monsoon season between June and October is a common phenomenon in the region, especially due to the rising levels of the Brahmaputra River and its tributaries.
