Assam Floods Caused by Extreme Rainfall
Assam, a state in India, recently experienced severe floods.
A local politician from the BJP party, Manab Deka, said the floods were caused by very heavy rain, much more than usual.
This rain affected areas that are normally safe from floods.
The floods caused many problems, including damage to homes and loss of life.
People in Assam came together to help those affected.
There was also a political discussion about a protest where some people said bad things about the Prime Minister.
The central government is working on making exams fairer and stopping cheating.
They have set up a group led by a well-known businessman, Nandan Nilekani, to help with these changes.
Assam experienced severe floods due to rainfall 400-500% above normal levels.
Floods affected traditionally safe, elevated areas, causing significant damage and loss of life.
People across Assam came together to support flood-affected individuals.
Political controversy arose over slogans allegedly raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a student protest.
Centre constituted a task force under Nandan Nilekani for examination reforms and proposed amendments to the Public Examinations Act.
