Seven more die in Assam, flood toll touches 66

-The Hindu

Two rhinos drown in the Kaziranga National Park where water level has subsided

Assam’s flood death count increased by seven on Wednesday to reach 66. The water level, however, improved across the State.

Officials of the State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) said three of the seven people who drowned on July 15 were from Morigaon district. Two were from Barpeta and one each from Sonitpur and Golaghat districts.

Number of displaced people decreases

“In two waves of floods over almost two months, 66 people have met a watery grave while 26 more were buried alive in landslips induced by heavy rainfall. But the situation has improved slightly with the number of displaced people decreasing overnight from 44,108 to 36,320 across 249 relief camps in 19 districts,” an ASDMA spokesperson said.

Though the number of flood-affected districts has come down from 28 to 26, the number of affected people has increased by 2.8 lakh to 35.74 lakh.

The area of affected farmlands remained constant at 1.28 lakh hectares.
