The flood situation in Assam continued to improve on Wednesday as water level across the state was receding, officials said.
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Guwahati predicted no rains for the next two days, giving hope for faster enhancement in the condition.
Meanwhile, a report from the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) on Tuesday night said that the number of people reeling under the deluge decreased to around 4 lakh even as one more death was reported from Dhemaji.
The number of inundated districts reduced to 16, while a few major rivers, including the Brahmaputra, continued to flow over the danger level at several places.
Cachar remained the worst-hit district with 80,783 affected people, followed by Dhubri (80,544) and Nagaon (76,889).
