The floods have affected 365 villages across 25 districts, damaging more than 15,000 acres of cropland.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the state has set up 39 relief camps and 16 relief distribution centres, sheltering over 74,000 displaced people.
The state disaster authority has also warned that heavy rainfall in neighbouring states could aggravate the flood situation in parts of Assam over the coming days.
