The death toll in the flood disaster in India has risen to 90.

The number of people who lost their lives in the floods caused by heavy rains in northeastern India has risen to 90.

According to Hindustan Times, although the heavy rains and floods in the northeastern states of India have reduced their impact, they continue to claim lives.

DEATH TOLL RISES TO 90

Disaster management officials in the Assam state announced that the number of people who lost their lives due to the flood has risen to 90. The statement also reported that living areas in various regions are still submerged.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a red alert for the region due to these disasters. Monsoon rains, which are effective in the country between June and September every year, cause great damage. Scientists share the view that the irregular and excessive rainfall seen in the northeastern regions of Bangladesh and India in recent years is caused by climate change.
