Heavy rains cause flooding in India, 26 dead in Assam

Heavy rains have been causing a lot of trouble in parts of India, especially in the state of Assam.

The Brahmaputra River, which is one of the biggest in the world, has been rising above its danger level.

This has led to severe flooding, and unfortunately, 26 people have lost their lives this week.

The floods have also caused mudslides, which have blocked important roads like the Jammu-Srinagar highway.

In some places, like the Kedarnath pilgrimage site, people have been moved to safer areas because of falling rocks.

The weather office says there will be more heavy rain and thunderstorms in the north of India, which could cause more flooding and damage.
