The overall flood situation in the Upper Assam districts has shown signs of slight improvement, while the situation in the Middle and Lower Assam districts of Morigaon and Dhubri is seemed to be grave.

Several families were compelled to take shelter on the Mukalbari Oakland Road and in the highlands of the neighbouring settlements.
