Guwahati, 4 June:

Assam is reeling under the impact of a severe flood crisis, with over 6.5 lakh people affected across 21 districts as torrential rains continue to lash the state. The official death toll has risen to 17, and the situation remains grim with seven major rivers, including the Brahmaputra, flowing above the danger level.

The worst-hit district is Sivasagar, where over 2.31 lakh people have been affected, followed by Nagaon (99,819) and Cachar (89,344). In Hailakandi district, the Katakhal River has breached its highest flood level at Matizuri, raising fears of further inundation.

Relief efforts are underway on a war footing. The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) has set up 223 relief camps housing nearly 40,000 displaced individuals, with an additional 288 relief distribution centers providing food, water, and medical aid.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited flood-ravaged areas in Silchar and Cachar on Monday to assess the damage and oversee rescue and relief operations. During his visit, the Chief Minister emphasized the need for long-term mitigation strategies, including wetland preservation and improved drainage infrastructure, to reduce the state’s vulnerability to recurrent floods.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured full support from the Centre, stating that the government stands firmly with the people of Assam and other northeastern states, including Sikkim and Manipur, that are also experiencing flood-related distress.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast continued heavy rainfall across Assam and adjoining areas in the coming days, prompting authorities to remain on high alert. District administrations have urged residents in low-lying and riverbank areas to evacuate as a precautionary measure.

The floods have damaged crops, roads, and infrastructure, compounding the region's economic challenges. Reports from the ground indicate that large areas remain submerged, and access to clean water, food, and essential medicines is becoming increasingly difficult in several rural pockets.

As the situation unfolds, both state and central authorities are ramping up coordination for emergency relief, even as residents brace for further rainfall.

In Assam, the flood situation has deteriorated sharply. As of June 1, 2025, ten major rivers, including the Brahmaputra and Barak, are flowing above the danger mark. The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) reports that over 78,000 people have been affected across more than 15 districts. Tragically, eight fatalities have been confirmed—five due to landslides and three from flooding. 

The Central Water Commission has issued an 'orange bulletin' for Assam, indicating a severe flood scenario. Key rivers breaching danger levels include the Dhaleswari at Gharmura (Hailakandi), Rukni at Dholai (Cachar), Katakhal at Matijuri (Hailakandi), Barak at Badarpur Ghat (Sribhumi), Buridehing at Margherita (Tinsukia), Kushiyara in Sribhumi, Dhansiri at Numaligarh (Golaghat), and Kopili at Kampur (Nagaon).

The deluge has disrupted transportation networks extensively. The Northeast Frontier Railway has canceled several passenger trains, including the Dullabcherra-Silchar and Silchar-Dullabcherra services. A segment of National Highway-17 near Shingra Shalnibari in Kamrup district is submerged, and ferry services between Jorhat and Majuli have been suspended due to the rising Brahmaputra.

In a significant rescue operation, the Indian Air Force evacuated 14 individuals trapped in the swollen Bomjir River along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border. This mission underscores the severity of the situation and the challenges faced by rescue teams.
