As the waters recede from parts of flood-hit Assam, the possibility of a return to their villages does not exist for some people. The very land on which their homes, villages and fields stood has been washed away. Every year, Assam loses about 8,000 hectares of land to erosion.

As Assam reels from floods, the challenges are substantially higher for forest guards at Assam's Kaziranga National Park, who are tasked with the protection of the critically endangered one-horned rhinos.

On Friday, just before completing one year since its 2014 verdict, the Modi government restarted peace talks in Assam and discussed a proposal that could completely change the state's politics.

Four workers died today at the Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL) in Dibrugarh district of Assam while there were working inside a polypropylene storage tank inside the factory premises.
