In Assam, flood situation in Barak Valley is showing a slight improvement as water levels of major rivers flowing in the Valley have receded considerably.

However, flood water logging in Alkapur constituency is a matter of concern. Two bodies were recovered in Hailakandi district.

State Water resources Minister Keshav Mahanta reviewed the flood-affected areas yesterday and instructed the authorities to accelerate rescue and relief operations.

In a major improvement, restoration work on rail track between New Halflong and Badarpur hill stations got complete resulting in movement of some special trains in the region.

However, movements on Badarpur hill to Silchar and Badarpur hill to Dharmnagar stations are still stuck due to flood and landslide. Major trains are still suspended.

In Tripura, with no further rainfall and decrease in the water level in the rivers, the flood situation is improving in the state.
