Assam faces floods due to heavy rainsAmid the COVID-19 pandemic, Assam is now facing devastating floods due to heavy rains too. About 3.63 lakh people across 21 districts have been affected.

According to officials, more than 50,000 people have been affected by the current flood in the Morigaon district. Many people are in relief camps. People were also seen rowing a boat in the floodwaters in the Morigaon district. Boats have become the only way to get to other places due to floods in the district.
