Guwahati: The flood situation in Assam remained serious on Wednesday, with more than 1.12 lakh people affected across four districts as more rain has been forecast in several areas already reeling under the deluge, officials said.
Several rivers are flowing above their danger levels, raising concerns of flooding in new areas, an official of the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) said.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD)’s Guwahati centre has forecast thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and moderate to heavy rainfall in parts of Charaideo, Dibrugarh, Jorhat, Sivasagar and Tinsukia districts.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as rising water levels and continued rainfall could worsen the flood conditions in the affected areas.
