More than 35 lakh people in 30 districts have been badly affected by the floods. However, a day earlier, the figure had crossed 54 lakh in 32 districts.

PM Modi is also keeping an eye on the current flood situation in Assam. He said the Centre is keeping a constant watch on the flood situation in Assam and is working closely with the Assam government to meet the challenge. Pm Modi said, "Teams of Army and NDRF are present in the flood affected areas. They are carrying out rescue operations and assisting the affected people. The Air Force has flown more than 250 flights under the evacuation process. '
