Water gushed into homes in Assam’s Morigaon district after flooding from an overflowing Brahmaputra river submerged several villages amid incessant rainfall in several parts of the state. According to officials, more than 15,000 people were affected by the flooding in the Morigaon district. Tasmina Khatoon, a student, mentioned that she was facing a lot of problems going to school because of the flooding in the area. A viral video clip from the Mayong area of Morigaon district showed locals looking on as their houses fall to the hungry tides. The Brahmaputra River is flowing over the danger level mark at 49.87 metres. The flood situation in Assam has turned grim, with over 53,000 people across six districts of the state reported marooned. As many as 17 districts are currently reeling under the deluge, with Lakhimpur being the worst hit followed by Dhemaji. 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. The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) reported that the flood has affected 120 villages under 11 revenue circles and submerged nearly 3000 hectares of crop area in the flood-hit districts.
