Amid the worsening flood situation, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited a relief camp in Dergaon on Thursday and described the situation as "serious", saying he estimates the death toll could rise further.
The Chief Minister attributed the flooding in several districts to a cloudburst in neighbouring Nagaland.
Having witnessed the extent of the #AssamFloods over the last two days, I chaired a meeting with my Cabinet colleagues and senior officials to review the evolving situation and further strengthen our response.

In view of the IMD forecast of heavy to very heavy rainfall over parts of Nagaland, the adjoining districts of Assam may experience localized heavy rainfall, waterlogging, rise in river and stream levels, and flash flooding. #ASDMA #WeatherAlert pic.twitter.com/GExN4bNWyf
"I estimate that the casualty figure will rise further. This entire situation arose because of a cloudburst in Nagaland. Water from the floodwaters severely affected our four districts. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also called me just now and informed me that an inter-ministerial team will be sent to Assam today or tomorrow. I believe both governments will stand with the people during this time of grief," Sarma said.
Following incessant rainfall, water levels in the Brahmaputra and several of its tributaries continue to rise at multiple locations across the state.
