4 Of Family Swept Away In Assam Flash Floods, Villagers Allege Delay

Heavy rainfall in Assam has triggered devastating flash floods, leading to a critical incident where four members of one family were swept away by rising currents. The event occurred in a village where residents reported that water levels rose with sudden and unexpected intensity, inundating homes within a short timeframe.

As floodwaters breached the residence of Rohini Dubara, the family reportedly attempted to evacuate and reach a safer location. However, the force of the surge proved too strong, resulting in the four individuals being carried off by the current before they could reach high ground.

Local villagers have publicly alleged that there was a significant delay in the arrival of emergency response teams. They claim that swifter intervention might have prevented the family from being caught in the floodwaters, though search and rescue operations were eventually initiated in the affected area.
