Torrential rains in India's northeastern Assam region have unleashed devastating floods, submerging villages and displacing over 1.1 million people across 28 districts, officials confirmed Wednesday. The death toll has climbed to 38, with three lives lost in the past 24 hours alone.
💧 Rescue teams are working round-the-clock as rising waters swallow homes and farmland. The hardest-hit areas include Tinsukia and Dhemaji districts, where residents are fleeing to temporary shelters. 'This is the worst flooding in years,' said an ASDMA official. 'We’re prioritizing food, clean water, and medical aid.'
🚨 Climate experts warn such extreme weather events could become more frequent, putting vulnerable communities at risk. Meanwhile, social media buzzes with #AssamFloodRelief campaigns as global netizens share support.
🌐 For the Asian diaspora and travelers: Assam’s Kaziranga National Park—home to endangered rhinos—is also partially underwater, raising concerns about wildlife safety.
