FACT-CHECK

When NewsMobile fact-check team did a fact-check on the photo, we found that the caption on the post is FAKE.

On putting the image through Reverse Image Search, we found out that Dhaka Times used this picture in their article published on  July 1, 2014, regarding the flood situation of Gaibandha area in Northern Bangladesh.

Hence, this proves that the caption attached to the post is FALSE as the picture is old and it is not from Assam.
