Assam continues to battle severe flooding, with official reports confirming a tragic increase in fatalities. The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) stated that the death toll from the current wave of floods has now reached 31. This grim update comes as the natural calamity continues to impact a vast swathe of the state, affecting more than 5.64 lakh individuals.
