Assam Floods Ease as Affected Drop to 178,000

The Assam government has announced that the number of people affected by floods has fallen to 178,000, a significant drop from earlier estimates. The decline reflects progress in relief operations and a reduction in water levels across several districts. Officials noted that evacuation centers are being gradually closed as residents return home. The Assam Disaster Management Authority continues to monitor river levels and will keep the public informed of any changes. Despite the improvement, authorities urge vigilance as heavy rains persist in the region.
