India floods in northeast kill 97

The massive floods that swept through the state of Assam in northeastern India have resulted in at least 97 deaths and displaced thousands, flooding over 14,000 hectares of farmland due to rising water levels in the Brahmaputra River and its tributaries caused by the monsoon rains. The Sivasagar region was particularly hard-hit, with water inundating homes, turning trees into ruins, and transforming vehicles into mud and debris. Authorities announced that the scale of destruction is significant and that restoring normal life will take time. They also warned of increased risks of recurring disasters due to climate change and unregulated urban expansion, along with accusations that illegal coal mining has contributed to the severity of the floods. Studies confirm that the frequency of such floods is rising because of global climate phenomena and diminishment of preventive measures, emphasizing the need for the government to escalate its efforts to confront these calamities.
