The incessant and heavy rainfall created a flood-like situation in Assam affecting more than 62000 people across eight districts in the state. The Brahmaputra River crossed the danger mark at Nimati Ghat in Jorhat.
Meanwhile, monsoons continued to be a no-show in Telangana, further extending the dry spell and leading to drought-like situation in most of the districts.
