The flood situation in Assam remains critical as the death toll has risen to 78 after fresh rain triggered flooding and waterlogging across several districts. More than 3 lakh people continue to be affected, with many unable to return home despite floodwaters receding in some areas. Roads remain blocked by mud and damaged infrastructure, slowing relief and restoration work. Authorities are operating relief camps and providing food and essential supplies to affected families. The India Meteorological Department has forecast more rainfall, raising concerns that conditions could worsen in flood-hit regions as rescue and rehabilitation efforts continue.
