The continuous rain and subsequent flooding have left Assam and its citizens paralysed. A total of 4128 villages and localities were affected by the floods until yesterday, according to a report by Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA).

More than 53 lakh people have already been affected, with more than 10 lakh people being affected in Dhubri, currently the worst hit.

#Asaamfloods has created these issues with lakes of people being affected so it's my humble request to the assames to help each other in this testing times.
The floods tells us how to handle and overcome next time if any floods happen.
