At least 68 people have died and more than 5.24 lakh people have been affected by floods across five districts in Assam this year. Charaideo is the worst-hit district, while thousands are staying in relief camps. Experts say Assam floods almost every year because of the Brahmaputra River, heavy monsoon rain and its location between mountain ranges. Water from Tibet, Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan also flows into the river, increasing the flood risk. Climate change, deforestation and wetland loss have made the situation worse. Experts say better flood planning and wetland protection can help reduce the damage.
