Assam's flood crisis has intensified, with the death toll reaching 100 and more than 1.37 lakh people affected across seven districts, according to the latest update from the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA).

Hundreds of villages remain submerged as floodwaters continue to affect residential areas, farmland and livestock. The latest ASDMA bulletin said 456 villages are currently inundated, while nearly 11,933 hectares of crop area have suffered damage.

Two more deaths were reported from Golaghat and Karbi Anglong during the past 24 hours, taking the overall toll to 100.

Golaghat Among Worst-Hit

Golaghat has emerged as one of the worst-affected districts, with close to 70,000 people impacted by the floods.

Sivasagar has reported nearly 40,000 affected people, while more than 16,000 people have been affected in Jorhat. The flooding has forced district administrations to maintain close watch on water levels and vulnerable areas.

Sivasagar has recorded the highest number of deaths at 49, while Cachar has reported 22 fatalities. Karimganj has recorded nine deaths and Golaghat eight.

Fatalities have also been reported from Dhemaji, Nagaon, Udalguri, Sonitpur and Karbi Anglong.

The state authorities are continuing rescue and relief operations as floodwaters remain high in several areas.

Thousands Take Shelter

The Assam government has opened 125 relief camps and relief distribution centres across six districts.

Around 49,061 people are currently staying in these facilities, where authorities are providing essential supplies and other assistance.

Rescue personnel and district officials are monitoring areas considered vulnerable to further flooding. Relief teams are also working to ensure access to food, drinking water and medical support for affected communities.

The continuing rainfall and rising water levels have made rehabilitation and restoration a major challenge for the administration.

Crops and Livestock Damaged

The floods have caused substantial damage to agricultural land, adding to the pressure on communities dependent on farming and livestock.

According to the latest official assessment, more than 11,933 hectares of crop land have been affected.

Earlier updates had also indicated significant damage in Jorhat, where hundreds of villages and a large population were affected during the latest flood spell.

For many families, the disruption extends beyond temporary displacement, with damage to crops, livestock and homes threatening livelihoods even after the water recedes.

Death Toll Revised

The latest death toll follows a correction in the district-wise figures.

Authorities found that one death in Sivasagar had been recorded twice under the same name. As a result, the district's earlier reported toll of 50 was revised down to 49.

Despite the correction, the overall death toll has now reached 100 following the latest reported fatalities.

States Extend Support

Relief efforts have received assistance from outside Assam as well.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai announced financial assistance of ₹5 crore for people affected by the floods in Assam.

Sai also spoke with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over the phone and discussed the flood situation and relief measures being undertaken by the state government.

The assistance comes as Assam continues to deal with the impact of widespread inundation across several districts.

Rescue Operations Continue

With water levels remaining high in several locations and more rain posing a continuing risk, authorities are focusing on rescue, relief distribution and preventing further casualties.

District administrations are also assessing damage to homes, farmland and public infrastructure.

The immediate priority remains ensuring the safety of people in vulnerable areas and maintaining supplies at relief centres. Longer-term rehabilitation will become increasingly important as floodwaters recede and affected communities begin rebuilding their homes and livelihoods.

For now, Assam remains under pressure from the continuing flood situation, with more than a lakh people still affected and hundreds of villages facing inundation.
