The Bhogdoi River has overflowed, inundating the Borigaon neighbourhood of Jorhat town in Assam, causing widespread damage and displacement.
Heavy monsoon rains have caused the Bhogdoi River to overflow its banks, sending water into the Borigaon area of Jorhat town. The sudden surge has flooded streets, damaged property, and left several residents stranded.
Local authorities have issued evacuation orders for the most affected blocks and are coordinating with the Assam Disaster Response Force to conduct rescue operations. Rescue teams are working to clear debris and provide relief supplies to those displaced.
The Assam government has requested additional resources from the state’s disaster management department to support the ongoing relief efforts. Residents are urged to stay away from low-lying areas and follow instructions from emergency officials.
