However, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday forecast heavy rainfall in parts of central, northeastern and eastern India over the next few days.
According to ASDMA officials, the number of affected people has reduced from over 24.20 lakh in 30 districts on July 5.
One drowning death was reported each from Dhubri, Dibrugarh, South Salmara, Dhemaji and Cachar districts, taking the death toll to 84.
ASDMA officials said the flood water also inundated more than 39,898 hectares of crops in 2,580 villages in 27 districts, while more than 11.28 lakh domestic animals were also severely affected.
Of the 27 flood-affected districts, Dhubri, Cachar, Barpeta, Darrang, Goalpara, Golaghat, Sivasagar, Majuli and South Salmara are the worst affected.
The Brahmaputra is flowing above the danger level at Neamatighat, Tezpur, Guwahati and Dhubri, while the Burhidihing, Disang and Kushiyara rivers are also flowing above the danger level at many places.
ASDMA officials also said that more than 45,620 people are sheltered in the 365 relief camps opened by the district administrations, while another 156 relief distribution centers are functioning in different districts. Various teams of National and State Disaster Response Forces, Fire and Emergency Service personnel, police forces, AAPDA Mitra Volunteers of ASDMA and volunteers of various NGOs have also been deployed for the rescue and relief operations.
According to officials, the second wave of flooding caused significant damage to agricultural land and crops, fisheries and infrastructure, including roads, bridges and culverts. They said road communication has been affected due to flooding and rising waters washed away bridges and damaged roads and embankments.
District administrations are providing food and other essential materials to the affected people.
As in previous years, wild animals in Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve (KN) were largely affected by the flood as a large area of the park was submerged and park authorities continued their efforts to rescue animals and prevent poaching. KN director Sonali Ghosh said that so far, 135 wild animals have been rescued, while 163 animals, including deer, rhinos and deer, have drowned in the flood waters.
