The daily flood bulletin said that 3,917 people across 15 villages in two revenue circles of Dhemaji district continue to be affected by the deluge. The worst-hit areas fall under the Jonai and Sissiborgaon revenue circles. A total of two relief camps are currently operational in the district, sheltering 165 inmates, including 42 men, 64 women and 51 children. Eight pregnant or lactating mothers are also staying in the camps, while no person with disability has been reported among the inmates.
A senior government official said that around 70 hectares of crop area remain submerged, while 14,014 animals have been affected by the floods. However, no livestock has been washed away.
