The floods in Assam, which began on July 19, have caused severe damage. A crop area of 14,230.15 hectares remained submerged. Due to widespread flooding, almost 55,000 animals have been washed away, while another 35,000 have been affected.

Actor Randeep Hooda is in Assam, taking part in a flood relief distribution programme organised by an NGO in Sivasagar. On Tuesday, he shared a video on his Instagram, providing an update on the work the team is doing on the ground, even as families remain affected by the flood. He was seen distributing kitchen essentials from the boat to a house, walking in knee-deep water. “10 din ke baad bhi paani knees ke upar hai. Yaha kaafi families hai andar. Waha se bhi awaazein aa rahi hai humko. Abhi humara iss trip mein boat ka jo samaan hai woh khatam ho gaya hai (Even after 10 days, the water is above knees. There are many families inside. We are getting calls from inside. The items are over in this trip for now)."

He added, "Doosra trip marenge. Yaha ek kitchen set leke ayein hai. Ration kaafi pohoch gaya hai logo ko… everybody is thankful aur baaki cheezein Global Sikh ki team ne identify kar li hai. Kitchen utensils, chappals, daily essentials distribute karne ke liye aayein hai. Kai log toh yaha pohonch hio nahi paa rahein toh hum log jaa rahe hai andar (We will take another trip. We have got a kitchen set, and several of them here have got the ration items. Global Sikh has identified the needs. There are many who cannot even reach here to receive these, so we are going inside.)”

Sivasagar remained the worst-hit with over 55,000 people affected, followed by 40,000 people in Charaideo and 22,000 in Jorhat.
