NEW DELHI, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- Flooding in India's northeastern state of Assam has affected around 60,000 people, officials said Thursday.

According to local government officials, over 10,000 people are taking shelter at 35 relief camps set up by the government.

The fury of floods has submerged 168 villages in five affected districts of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Golaghat, Sivasagar and Charaideo districts while Sivsagar and Golaghat are the worst hit among them.

"Nearly 10,000 people are taking shelter at 35 relief camps in Sivsagar and Golaghat districts," an official said. "The floods have disrupted road movement at many places."

On Wednesday night 2,500 people were rescued by disaster response force and police teams in Golaghat district.

"Water Resource minister Keshab Mahanta and Agriculture minister Atul Bora visited flood affected areas at Golaghat district and met people at relief camps," a local government spokesman said. "Both the ministers held a review meeting and told the district administration to step up relief and rehabilitation measures, besides setting up animal camps."

The authorities have issued directions to the field officials to make proper assessment of damage to crops and property due to floods.

Officials said so far flooding has claimed 38 lives in Assam this year.

Floods are an annual occurrence in Assam during the monsoon season.
