Flood Situation in Assam



Flood situation is still critical in some districts in Assam as the Brahmaputra River overflowing in several districts. Flood in Assam is one of the biggest problems here, due to heavy rainfall in the months of June-July flood in Assam occurs and many villages affected and hectares of agricultural land destroyed. People also lost their lives and properties, people who live in the banks of the rivers are affected most.  As-of-now more than 15 lakhs of people get affected due to flood this year, not only people are affected but also animals in Kaziranga National Park and Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary affected most where many animals moved on to Karbi Hills and higher places to save their lives. Many roads were washed away cutting all links to other parts of the state. Though some actions are taken but people require more assistance and relief materials for the flood-affected people. Government should take more necessary steps to tractable this problem and should declare Flood in Assam as National disaster.
