Flood Situation In Assam Improves Slightly; Over 4 Lakh People Still Affected

Guwahati, Jun 7: Assam’s flood situation showed marginal improvement on Saturday as major rivers, including the Brahmaputra, began to recede, officials said. Despite the easing trend, more than four lakh people remain affected across 18 districts of the state.

The improvement is attributed to reduced rainfall in most areas and scattered showers in some regions, leading to a decline in river water levels.

However, the Brahmaputra continues to flow above the danger level at Dhubri, along with the Kopili at Dharamtul, Barak at Katakhal in Hailakandi, and Kushiyara at Sribhumi.
