Assam: Severe waterlogging after rain disrupts life in Dibrugarh

Dibrugarh (Assam) [India], June 29 : Continuous heavy rainfall over the past three days has resulted in severe waterlogging across Dibrugarh, significantly disrupting daily life.
Local resident Munna Rai highlighted the extent of the crisis, stating, "There is water everywhere, and daily work cannot be done. Many places are flooded. Water has even entered the house."

The flooding has impacted numerous areas, including the CRPF camp, which is also submerged, causing distress to the lives of people.

"In front of the police area, all the roads and paths are flooded. Even the police camp is filled with water. Water has also entered the shops, forcing shopkeepers to close and leave. It's very difficult here, and there is no electricity in many places. People are facing a lot of trouble," another resident said.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had earlier warned of such conditions.
Earlier, on June 27, IMD said that a cyclonic circulation lies over northwest Rajasthan and another over east Assam in the lower tropospheric levels under whose influence fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rainfall accompanied with thunderstorm, lightning and isolated heavy rainfall likely over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal & Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura is expected during the next five days.
The IMD said on Thursday that the conditions favouring further advance of southwest monsoon into some more parts of North India are being witnessed as the heatwave conditions have abated across the country.
According to IMD, the southwest monsoon already advanced into parts of North Arabian Sea, Gujarat, some more parts of Rajasthan, most parts of Madhya Pradesh; some more parts of West Uttar Pradesh; Bihar, some parts of East Uttar Pradesh; most parts of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh-Gilgit-Baltistan-Muzaffarabad, some parts of Punjab today.
Conditions are likely to become favourable for further advance of southwest Monsoon into some more parts of Rajasthan; remaining parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, some more parts of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Chandigarh and some parts of Haryana, some more parts of Punjab, remaining parts of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu during next two-three days, the IMD said.
The IMD said that a trough at mean sea level runs off Maharashtra-north Kerala coasts. A cyclonic circulation lies over central Gujarat and a trough runs from this cyclonic circulation to west Bihar in lower tropospheric levels.
It predicted that fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rainfall accompanied with thunderstorm and lightning are very likely over Konkan and Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala and Mahe, Lakshadweep, Gujarat state, Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh; scattered to fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall over Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam, Rayalaseema, Telangana, Marathwada and Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal during next five days due to the influence of the cyclonic circulation.
