Guwahati, Jun 30 : In Assam, the overall flood situation started to improve with receding of water levels in the river Brahmaputra and its tributaries.
According to a Central Water Commission report this morning, the river Brahmaputra is flowing 1.24 metres above the danger level in Dibrugarh.
The mighty river is also flowing above the danger mark at Neamatighat and Dhubri. The two tributaries of the Brahmaputra-Dhansiri South and Puthimari are also flowing above the danger level.
The rivers are, however, maintaining a falling trend due to improvement of the weather condition since Tuesday.
Over eight lakh people in as many as 11 districts of the State were hit in the current spell of flood. Road communication remains cut off in several parts of badly hit Morigaon, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji and Baksa districts. The district authorities have taken up relief and restoration works on war footing in the flood-hit districts.
