Assam's flood death toll has reached 100, according to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority, with two more deaths reported in Golaghat and Karbi Anglong districts. Earlier reports from the state's own disaster bulletin had put the toll at 99, reflecting a difference in reporting periods. Over 1.37 lakh people are affected across seven districts, with Golaghat the worst-hit at nearly 70,000. The Dhansiri and Kushiyara rivers are flowing above danger levels, and the Doyang Hydro Power Station in Nagaland continues to discharge water through four spillway gates. The administration runs 125 relief camps sheltering about 49,000 people.
