Guwahati, July 05 2009:
One person was swept away in Majuli islands as the flood situation in Assam turned critical with river Brahmaputra and its tributaries crossing the danger mark, affecting over five lakh people in ten districts.
Normal life was crippled as large parts of Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Dibrugarh districts, Jorhat in upper Assam, Morigaon in Central Assam and Barpeta, Kamrup (Guwahati), Bongaigaon, Dhubri and Baksa in lower Assam were submerged by the swollen rivers due to incessant rains in catchment areas.
In world's largest river island Majuli, almost the entire island got flooded and a villager was swept away.
The situation in the districts of Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Dhubri and Baksa was grim.
