Severe flooding in Guwahati, Assam, India, has led to the death of one person and disrupted daily life due to torrential overnight rains. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reported 215.9 mm of rainfall, resulting in knee-deep water on many roads and chest-high water in some areas. The victim, identified as Payal Nath, fell into a drain near the Northeast Frontier Railway headquarters. In response to the flooding, the Kamrup Metropolitan District administration ordered the closure of all government and private schools. Emergency services have been deployed to rescue stranded individuals, with around 50 people evacuated so far. The IMD forecasts continued rain and potential flooding over the next week, prompting authorities to advise residents to remain cautious and plan their travel accordingly. The Gauhati High Court has previously criticized the Assam government for inadequate measures to address chronic flooding issues in the city.
