| Wild buffalos run through flood waters in the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, some 55 kms from Guwahati, Assam on June
28. Floodwaters have submerged some 90 per cent of the sanctuary forcing rhinos and other wild animals to shelter in
the woodland of the park which is located at a higher altitude. More than 850,000 people have been displaced and road communication disrupted in several parts of the state due to flooding caused by seasonal monsoon rains.Photo by AFP |
