 STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: The death toll from floods in the state has risen to seven today, even though the situation of the deluge is normal. Now only 82,000 people in 395 villages in the state are under the grip of floods.

The district-wise flood-affected villages in the state are: 142 in Kamrup, 78 in Nalbari, 75 in Barpeta, 33 in Darrang, and 30 in Bajali. Though the state has 106 relief camps, they are almost empty of inmates. Barpeta, Dhubri, and Goalpara received the worst blow insofar as the damage to infrastructure is concerned. The Tinkunia River eroded a tea garden bund in Halem, the Amloga River eroded an embankment in Chariduar, the Doodhara-Doomni Road got damaged in Jalah, the Suva-Jatradia Road got damaged in Chenga, etc.
