The flood situation in Northeast India looks grim with Assam and Meghalaya emerging as the worst-hit.
The death toll has now jumped to 42 after eight people have died in the last 24 hours while nearly 4 million have been affected in both the states, NDTV reports.
Assam has been reeling under devastating floods with 32 of the northeastern state`s 33 districts now inundated by floods.
Lower Assam has been one of the worst-hit with five major rivers, including Brahmaputra, Subansiri and Manas, flowing above the danger level.
"Situation is very bad. We are trying hard to help the people. Temporary bridges are being built in flood-affected districts to reach to the people," Assam`s Water Resources Minister Pijush Hazarika said.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and assured all possible help from the Central government to the disaster-hit state.
The Sohra region of Meghalaya`s Cherrapunji recorded the third time highest rainfall on Friday.
The Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama (RKM) of Sohra also recorded its highest ever rainfall since 1998, according to reports.
