The flood situation in Assam is showing no signs of improvement with over 21.13 lakh people across 29 districts affected as of Thursday evening, and six deaths in the last 24 hours. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited many flooded areas. The rising floodwater from Upper Assam region has made the situation bad for Lower Assam districts, with many affected in historic towns like Goalpara and Dhubri. With about five lakh more people affected overnight, relief and rescue efforts have also been strengthened amid the rising casualties. The total number of fatalities since May has risen to 52. The focus now is on Lower Assam region, but fresh rain alerts in the region has raised concerns.
