Heavy rainfall in Dima Hasao, Assam caused flood-like situations and landslides recently. Against this backdrop, a video of a flooded road went viral on social media claiming it to be Diyungbra in Dima Hasao, Assam.
However, as we investigated, we came to know that the claim was false. The viral video is not from Dima Hasao, Assam. It’s from Sylhet, Bangladesh. Here’s the fact check.

We found a video on a verified YouTube channel uploaded on 31 March 2025, where a similar road to the one in the viral video was shown. According to the video, it shows a flood situation on the Gowainghat-Radhanagar road in Sylhet, Bangladesh.
