The flood situation in Assam showed no signs of improvement, while nearly five lakh people were affected. Several rivers, including the Brahmaputra, were flowing above the danger mark.
No relief from the floods is expected soon as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rain over the next few days, which could further swell the water levels.
