Despite the overall flood situation improving slightly in several northern districts, the miseries of about one million people continue. There is also no sign of reopening a good number of education institutions sometime soon, which the administration had shut after the flood situation worsened. Sources at the district administration said 310,080 people in 350 villages have so far been affected by the flood. The flood control and crop protection embankments in the district have become greatly vulnerable to damage by the floodwater. He said the government will continue the relief supplies to the flood victims until they recover their losses.
