Assam floods affect nearly 2 lakh people; IMD issues a “red alert”

Heavy rains, flooding, and landslides have cut off road and rail connections to the state’s mainland in several parts of Assam. In some parts of Assam, communication lines have also snapped, effectively isolating those trapped in flood-affected and low-lying areas. According to reports, the massive landslides and flooding have also destroyed the state’s infrastructure, including bridges, roads, and railway tracks.

After incessant rain for the past few days, the water level of rivers in the northeastern state has gradually increased, resulting in the first wave of floods this year. In Assam, at least 11 people have died as a result of floods and mudslides caused by heavy rain.

– According to the Associated Press, four people were killed in Arunachal Pradesh, the region’s frontier state, on Monday as a result of heavy rain and mudslides. Two more people were killed when their homes on a small hillock in the state capital, Itanagar, collapsed, and two road construction workers were killed by mudslides in another location. In neighbouring Assam, seven more people were reported killed.

– Massive landslides and waterlogging in the state’s hilly terrain have caused significant damage to the railway track, bridges, and road communications, causing people in several parts of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Meghalaya to be cut off from the mainland.

– Nearly 2 lakh people in Assam’s districts have been cut off from the rest of the state due to landslides and washed-away roads and bridges. In these areas, communication channels have also been severed.

– The flood has affected 811 villages in the state, with 1,277 houses completely destroyed and 5,262 partially destroyed. Many people have been forced to flee their homes after floodwaters inundated them, seeking refuge in schools and high ground.

– For the next three days, the Indian Meteorological Department predicts very heavy to extremely heavy rain in the region. Assam will remain on’red alert’ until Wednesday.

– In seven districts, 55 relief camps have opened, sheltering 33,000 people. In addition, 12 relief distribution centres are open in various affected districts. Rescue operations in flood-affected areas have been carried out by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), Fire and Emergency Services, as well as locals.
