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.
He said that as per the Central Water Commission (CWC), no river was flowing above the danger level.
He said the ASDMA has reviewed its preparedness and had asked the National Disaster Response Force to ready its teams in Barpeta, Lakhimpur, Tinsukia and Cachar districts.
