At least 21 people were killed and several injured in flood and thunderstorm that lashed Assam during the past three days, official sources said today.

Six people died after being hit by lightning in lower Assam's Dhubri district, while another six died in Cachar district, an official release said.

While three persons died in Nagaon district, two died in Kamrup(metro) while one each died in Goalpara, Nalbari, Morigaon and Karimganj districts.

The government has announced an ex-gratia payment of Rs1 lakh each to the next of kin of the deceased.

Official sources said the flood situation remained critical as many parts of the state remained inundated by waters of Brahmaputra river and its tributaries.

Nearly 90% of power supply has been restored in the state after the thunderstorm destroyed electric poles and disrupted power supply, the release said.

The government has decided to set up round-the-clock emergency control room which will function as a disaster management information centre, it added.
