With the monsoon season setting in, three rivers in Assam are flowing above the 'warning' level in three districts, a step short of 'danger' level, an official said on Monday.
The Puthimari, the Beki and Jia Bharali rivers were flowing above the warning level in certain places, Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) chief P.K. Tiwari said.
