Assam Floods: 92 Animals Lost, Chief Minister Sarma Reviews Situation

The devastating floods in Assam have led to the death of 92 animals in Kaziranga National Park. Among the deceased are 11 Hog Deer who died during treatment and 62 who drowned. Three Rhinos and one Otter also drowned. However, 95 animals have been rescued, including 27 Hog Deer, one Otter, one Rhino, one Elephant, one Jungle Cat, and two Scoops Owls currently under treatment.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited Dibrugarh to assess the flood situation. He noted that while the water level has decreased in some areas, it remains above the danger level in others. The floods have caused significant damage, leaving many people homeless and resulting in a death toll of 52. Power cuts have been implemented in Dibrugarh to prevent electrocution.

There are 233 camps set up in Eastern Assam Wildlife Division to aid in the rescue and treatment of animals. The water level is below the danger level at Pasighat and Dibrugarh but remains high at Numaligarh, Nimatighat, Tezpur, and Dhansirimukh.
