Some people are trapped in the water due to the floods
Answers
Answer:
The flood situation in Assam has worsened with the death of about 500 people in the last three days. Due to the heavy monsoons, the river water level of the adjoining Brahmaputra River has further risen above the danger mark. The Regional Meteorological Centre here warned of more rain and thundershowers.
Aerial survey of the place was conducted to estimate the loss. The area has about 8000 houses underwater, two hundreds of dead bodies of man and animals floating in the water. The state government has opened 2500 temporary camps besides lodging the flood-hit, sad and homeless people in trying their best to provide help and support to the trapped people. They have been provided with food packets, drinking water, milk etc. Doctors are working voluntarily to provide free treatment to the injured and ill people and also providing measures to prevent water-borne diseases.
Government has announced to pay Rs.2lakh to the family members of the deceased and Rs. One lakh to all flood-hit families, as compensation.
