The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) reported that the death toll from the state's ongoing flood crisis has officially reached 100. The latest casualties occurred within the last 24 hours, with one individual drowning in the Golaghat district and another in Karbi Anglong.

Beyond the loss of life, the floods continue to disrupt the lives of approximately 1.4 lakh (140,000) residents. The disaster management authority is currently monitoring the situation as floodwaters persist in several districts. While the immediate focus remains on rescue and relief operations, the scale of the displacement highlights the ongoing vulnerability of these regions to seasonal flooding. Authorities have not yet provided a detailed breakdown of the total infrastructure damage or the specific long-term recovery plans for the affected populations.
