Floods and landslides triggered by heavy monsoon rains have killed at least 50 people in the northern Indian state of Assam since mid-July.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday that the situation remained "persistently grim."
Almost 1.1 million people across more than 2,000 villages have been affected, according to Sarma. More than 41,000 people are currently sheltering in emergency accommodation.
Dozens of people remain missing in the flood-hit areas.
Sarma said he would consult the Indian military on how to reach people who were still cut off.
The heavy rainfall caused the Brahmaputra River, which runs for around 2,900 kilometers, to burst its banks as it flows through Assam. : Gujarat Police Hailed for Heroic Flood Rescue in Valsad, Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi Shares Video
