n what seems to have become an annual curse, heavy monsoon rains in the eastern Himalayas, the Assam valley, West Bengal and Bangladesh have led to serious flooding in two countries. Many rivers in the Brahmaputra basin are flowing well above the danger mark.
The flood waters of the Brahmaputra did recede in Bongaigaon and Sibsagar districts of Assam last week, but there was fresh inundation in a dozen villages in Nagaon district. Four districts in Assam continued to reel under the impact of floods on Sunday.
“Fresh inundation has occurred in 12 villages in the low lying areas of Samaguri revenue circle of Nagaon district,” Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) said in its daily bulletin.
