Moving forward, we found the viral video on a YouTube channel uploaded on 17 July 2023. 

Another YouTube video claimed that the video is from the Sainj Valley, Himachal Pradesh floods on 9 July 2023.

We found an Instagram post where the viral video was uploaded on 8 September 2024 and according to the caption, the video is from Sainj Valley, Himachal Pradesh floods on 9 July 2023.

According to reports, “Floods caused by heavy rains had wreaked havoc in Sainj in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu district. 40 shops and 30 houses had been destroyed due to the floods. The incident happened on 9 July 2023 afternoon when floodwater from the river entered the Sainj market.”

Similar videos can be seen here and here.

This makes it clear that the viral video is old and unrelated to Assam.

Conclusion 

From our investigation, we can say that the claim is false. The viral video doesn’t show the flood situation in Guwahati, Assam. The video is old and from Himachal Pradesh.
