Assam Floods: , Bollywood star Aamir Khan on Monday donated Rs 25 lakh to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund as assistance for the flood-hit people.

In Silchar town, which has been submerged for over a week, efforts are underway to provide relief in those areas where the administration is yet to reach, by air dropping packets with food, drinking water bottles and other essentials by Indian Air Force helicopters.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are also engaged in preparing a flood map of Silchar town so as to identify the extent of damage, and help in taking measures to mitigate losses in future, Cachar Deputy Commissioner Keerthi Jalli said.

The ASDMA bulletin said 2,254 villages under 61 revenue circles remain affected by the current wave of floods across the state, while 1,91,194 people have taken shelter in 538 relief camps.

Flood waters have damaged 79 roads and five bridges, even as six embankments were breached, it said.
