Severe monsoon rainstorms wreaked havoc across several Indian states causing floods and landslides on July 17 and 18, 2016. 35 people died in Madhya Pradesh alone while several others went missing. Water, power supplies, and traffic were disrupted across the affected areas.
Heavy rains triggered landslides in the mountainous regions of Uttarakhand and blocked the road connecting Haridwar and Delhi. 12 people were reported dead across the state, four of which were buried by a landslide near Narendra Nagar. Severe infrastructural damage was reported, including damaged bridges, while 440 roads were blocked for traffic.
More than 300 villages and 100 000 people are affected by severe weather conditions in Assam, the districts of Lakhimpur, Golaghat, and Morigaon being among the worst hit. According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), the Brahmaputra river was flowing above the danger level.
