Dhemaji is basically the most affected district with more than 41,000 people hit by the flooding. Dibrugarh comes next with nearly 4,000 affected residents. In Chirang district, it is around 800 people who have been impacted. 

A railway bridge over the Simen river in Assam’s Dhemaji district partially collapsed, a Northeast Frontier Railway official said on Sunday.

The collapse occurred due to heavy rainfall and the erosion of the riverbank. According to an official statement by the Northeast Frontier Railway CPRO, on account of excessive rainfall of more than 110 mm in and around Dhemaji district of Assam and subsequent flooding and bank erosion affecting the railway bridge, the section between Archipathar and Simen Chapari stations has been suspended for train operation.

The flooding also disrupted road connectivity, bringing traffic to a complete halt and cutting off access to areas such as Potin, Yazali, Yachuli, Joram, and Ziro.

Because of the road closure the supply of essential goods is now delayed, and emergency teams are struggling to reach places on time. For people it has become even harder to access important healthcare facilities.
