Several rivers in Assam's Golaghat and Bokakhat subdivisions have crossed danger levels, raising flood concerns. Residents near riverbanks are urged to stay alert and follow safety measures. Assam faces severe flooding with casualties reported. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assured Central assistance, coordinating with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for relief and rehabilitation efforts.
