Due to incessant rainfall in Assam and its neighbouring states for the last few days, Brahmaputra and other rivers in the state are showing a rising trend.
There is no letup in the flood fury in the state, where as many as five rivers, including the Brahmaputra, are still flowing above their danger levels and 22 districts are reeling under the deluge.
Central government conducted a test of its Emergency Alert System via smartphones, highlighting the significance of robust technology-driven safety measures.
