Seven more deaths due to floods and landslides were reported in Assam in the past 24 hours, even as the floodwaters have started receding in most areas.
The devastating floods have claimed 107 lives since April, affecting more than 45 lakh people across 30 districts of the state.
The worst affected is Silchar town in Barak Valley where the situation remains extremely grim for four days now. Nearly three lakh people are affected as the overflowing Barak River inundated the major town in southern Assam, while more than 71,000 people have been shifted to relief camps.
With no food and electricity, and an acute scarcity of drinking water, the town is now depending on the food and essentials being airdropped by the central and state disaster forces, besides the army and the air force.
