The water level of the Kopili River, a tributary of the Brahmaputra River, is flowing above the danger level mark at Kampur in Nagaon district, according to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority.

“Right now the water level is going up and down. There is a statue in the middle of the river and when the water reaches its neck, we realize that the water level has risen,” a local said.

Notably, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday, issued a week-long forecast predicting continuous rainfall in Guwahati.
