The flood situation in Assam continued to remain grim with rising water levels of the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers inundating fresh areas in the State and impacting over 55 lakh people across 32 districts, officials said on June 22.
Eighty-nine people have lost their lives since mid-May due to deluge, they said.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma travelled to Nagaon by train to review the situation in flood-hit areas in the district, the officials said, adding that he was also scheduled to visit a few relief camps there.
