Assam Floods Claim 99 Lives

The recent floods in Assam have brought unprecedented devastation to the state, particularly in the Sivasagar and Charaideo districts. These districts, located along the Assam-Nagaland border, are not typically known for being flood-prone. However, the heavy rainfall from July 18 to 22 has changed the scenario, leaving the residents struggling to cope with the disaster. The scale of destruction is massive, with 99 people losing their lives and over 7.21 lakh people affected. The challenge of recovering from this shock is immense, and the state authorities are working to provide relief to the affected people.
