Nearly 24,000 locals have been affected in Dhemaji while another 12,000, 8,500 and 7,500 have been stranded in Sonitpur, Lakhimpur, and Dibrugarh districts respectively.

Floods killed 14 people so far in Assam

According to the Central Water Commission (CWC), incessant rainfall led to an increase in the water level of the Brahmaputra and its tributaries, inundating surrounding areas.

The river is reported to be flowing over the danger mark in many parts of the state.

As many as 14 people have lost their lives in the floods in Assam this year.
