Vegetable prices in the Guwahati market have gone up due to the severe flood in Assam, adding to the load on the people. Approximately 4.89 lakh people in 19 districts have been affected due to a flood situation.

In Assam's flood-affected regions, 10782.80 hectares of cropland have been submerged by floodwaters, resulting in crop destruction. The flood has also disrupted the supply chain, which in turn has raised the price of vegetables for two consecutive weeks. In the last 24 hours, one person died in Nalbari district after drowning in flood waters, bringing the death toll to two.
