No let-up in flood situation

The overall flood situation remains unchanged in Assam as the mighty Brahmaputra and its tributaries are flowing above danger level in several places of the state. The surging waters of Beki ane Pagoladiya have submerged a vast area in lower Assam rendering thousands of people homeless besides damaging crops in several places. Meanwhile, floodwaters are refusing to recede in Lakhimpur and Dhemaji districts where over 200 villages are under flash flood.
