The floods are so ghastly in the state that streets are brimming with water. To give you a sample of how terrible the conditions are, here’s a video of commoners catching a HUGE fish on the road.

The overflowing of Brahmaputra river has resulted in the massive floods. It can’t be denied that aquatic life has been on the receiving end too. Fishes have floated with the water into the city.  The fish caught on cam is enormous, two men can be seen carrying it away.

To make sure that conditions of the state get better, Government is setting up relief camps in huge numbers.

We hope Assam finds the strength to recover from this.
