The highest number of deaths is expected in the coming days, with the number of people killed in the state of Assam expected to reach 47, three times higher than the previous day.

Officials say that heavy rains have caused flooding and landslides in several districts.

Heavy monsoon rains in India have killed 14 people in a single day. Meanwhile, the death toll is expected to rise in the state of Jharkhand, where, according to preliminary reports, the floods have killed people and displaced residents.

Material damage has not been specified, but the death toll in Jharkhand has been higher, officials say, where 2,825 people have been killed since 2024 and since 1967, when the country began tracking it, more than 100,000 people have died in floods.

Experts believe that the monsoon rains are intensifying due to climate change, which can lead to more extreme weather events. The rains are expected to continue in the coming days.
