The flood situation in Assam remains critical as the death toll from this year's monsoon-related disasters has climbed to 95, with six more fatalities reported in the past 24 hours. Authorities said several districts continue to face widespread rural inundation and severe urban flooding, prompting heightened monitoring and emergency response measures across the state. According to the latest report from the Disaster Reporting and Information Management System (DRIMS), the fresh deaths were recorded amid worsening flood conditions in multiple parts of Assam.

Of the six fatalities reported on Wednesday, five were linked to the general flood situation. Biswanath and Sivasagar districts reported two deaths each, while one person lost their life in Golaghat district. Another person died due to urban flooding in the Mayong revenue circle of Morigaon district. Additionally, one person has been reported missing from Udalguri. The continuing rise in flood-related casualties highlights the severity of the monsoon crisis affecting Assam. Thousands of residents across several districts have been impacted by rising water levels, with many areas experiencing damage to homes, agricultural land, roads and other infrastructure.

Local administrations and disaster response teams have been engaged in relief and rescue operations while keeping a close watch on vulnerable locations. The Dhansiri (South) River at Numaligarh continues to flow above the danger mark, increasing concerns over flooding in surrounding regions. The elevated water level has resulted in 14 districts being placed on high alert. These districts include Golaghat, Lakhimpur, Charaideo, Sivasagar, Biswanath, Dhemaji, Kamrup (Metropolitan), Jorhat, Sonitpur, Tinsukia, Nagaon, Darrang, Karbi Anglong and Udalguri.

The flood situation has been worsened by heavy rainfall in Assam and neighbouring regions, including increased water inflow from upstream areas. Several rivers across the state have crossed warning levels, affecting low-lying communities and forcing residents to seek safer locations. Authorities have advised people living near rivers and flood-prone areas to remain cautious and follow instructions issued by local officials. Assam experiences recurring floods every year during the monsoon season due to heavy rainfall, overflowing rivers and water discharge from upstream regions. The recurring disasters often cause extensive damage to crops, livestock and public infrastructure, while placing significant pressure on state resources.

This year's floods have once again underlined the challenges faced by communities living in vulnerable areas. With the flood situation remaining unstable, authorities are continuing assessment and relief efforts across affected districts. Emergency teams are monitoring river levels, assisting stranded residents and providing support to displaced families. Officials have urged people to remain alert as further rainfall could worsen conditions in already affected areas. The state administration continues to coordinate with district authorities to minimise further loss of life and provide immediate assistance to those impacted by the ongoing floods.
