Morigaon Floods Assam

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today rode a bike during a visit to the flood-hit Tamulpur. Over 2,50,300 people have been hit by the floods in five districts of Assam - Cachar, Chirang, Morigaon, Nagaon, and Tamulpur.

134 people have died due to the floods in Assam this year, with eight deaths reported just yesterday -- five from Cachar district and one each from Kamrup Metro, Morigaon, and Nagaon.

Assam's flood situation improved considerably on Monday with the water level having gone down in river Brahmaputra and its major tributaries, even as one more fatality was reported from Morigaon district.

Dhemaji, Baksa and Morigaon districts of Assam continued to remain submerged on Wednesday, even as floodwaters receded from most parts of the state, according to an official bulletin.

As the flood situation in Assam is worsening each day, the state health department is sending out rural health teams to the affected areas. The team of doctors, nurses and health workers from rural health centre in flood-hit Morigaon districts are reaching out to the victims amid surging floodwaters.

Assam's junior Health Minister and MLA Pijush Hazarika has been working with rescuers and relief managers on a boat to reach flood-hit people in the state's Morigaon district, 75 km east of Guwahati.

In flood-ravaged rural Assam thousands who are displaced are as worried for their lives and that of their families as they are for their citizenship papers.

As Assam reels under intense rain and floods that have affected about 15 lakh people and killed at least seven, a video from the Morigaon district showed dramatic visuals of a school building collapsing into the Brahmaputra river on Friday.

Dimbeshwar Das of Koilajhari village in Assam's flood-ravaged Morigaon district, about 150 km away from Guwahati, has been living on the village road for more than a month after the second wave of floods displaced him. The second flood wave isn't allowing the 47-year-old to return home, which may have been destroyed.

The floods in Assam on Monday claimed three more lives, taking the total deaths count to 102, and hit nearly 32 lakh people in 25 districts, besides snapping rail connectivity to the Northeast.

58-year-old Hari Chandra Nath, headman of Kathoni village in Assam's Morigaon is worried these days. During the past week, he has been busy trying to save his village from being ravaged by the floods in the state.

As the overall flood situation in Assam remained grim, the condition in Morigaon district turned critical today with the Brahmaputra river inundating 100 villages, affecting around one lakh people and flooding rhino habitat Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary.

The flood situation in Assam continued to remain critical with nearly 250 villages under water, affecting over 75,000 people across nine districts.

The first wave of floods in Assam has claimed one life, affected nearly 68,000 people, submerged rhino habitats at Kaziranga and Pobitora and overrun vast tracks of human habitation and farm land.

Lakhs of people have been moved to safer places in Assam as the Brahmaputra river continues to rise. The river is threatening many more areas as it swells. This is 8th wave of flood in the last three months and not a single morsel has been distributed as relief in Buragaon revenue circle where 1.2 lakh people have been affected. 104 villages have a...
