Assam's flood situation remains critical with seven additional deaths reported in the last 24 hours, bringing the total toll to significant levels across the state.
Over 3 lakh people are currently affected by the deluge, with Sivasagar district reporting severe infrastructure damage and thousands of residents displaced from their homes.
The central and state governments have launched a joint relief operation to provide food, medicine, and temporary shelter to the flood-hit population in the Brahmaputra valley.
