ASSAM FLOODS: OVER 34,000 PEOPLE HIT IN 11 DISTRICTS, IMD PREDICTS MORE RAIN

Assam has been hit by floods for the third time this year, with over 34,000 people affected in 11 districts. The Brahmaputra and its tributaries are flowing above the danger mark in several places, and the situation is expected to worsen as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more rain in the coming days.

The worst-hit districts are Dhemaji, Dibrugarh, Goalpara, Hojai, Kamrup, Karimganj, Lakhimpur, Morigaon, Nagaon, Sonitpur, and Tinsukia. In these districts, over 2,500 villages have been affected by the floods, and over 10,000 hectares of crops have been damaged.

Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and take shelter in relief camps. The Assam government has deployed teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) to rescue people and provide relief.

The IMD has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall in Assam and Meghalaya in the next few days. This could worsen the flood situation in the two states.

The Assam government has urged people to stay away from the banks of rivers and other water bodies. It has also asked people to be prepared for any eventuality.

The floods have caused widespread damage in Assam. The government has estimated that the damage to infrastructure and crops will run into crores of rupees.

The floods have also affected the livelihood of people in Assam. Many people have lost their homes and crops, and they are struggling to make ends meet.

The government has announced a relief package for the flood-affected people. The package includes financial assistance, foodgrains, and medical supplies.

The floods are a reminder of the vulnerability of Assam to natural disasters. The state needs to take steps to mitigate the impact of floods and other natural disasters.

The government needs to build more dams and embankments to control floods. It also needs to develop early warning systems to alert people about impending floods.

The people of Assam need to be prepared for floods and other natural disasters. They need to have a disaster preparedness plan in place. They also need to be aware of the dos and don'ts during floods.

The floods are a tragedy, but they also an opportunity to build back better. The government and the people of Assam need to work together to rebuild the state and make it more resilient to natural disasters.
