Mumbai-based philanthropist and social media influencer Hussain Mansuri visited flood-hit areas of Assam, where he and his team delivered beds to families affected by the deluge.
In a post on Instagram, Mansuri shared a video that showed him along with his volunteers carrying beds through muddy paths to homes and temporary shelters where families were staying in difficult conditions.
Despite the rain and slippery terrain, Mansuri and his group continued installing beds inside houses and tents, laying mats on them before handing them over to residents.

At one point in the video, Mansuri almost slipped while carrying a bed through the mud but managed to regain his balance and continue the relief work.
The video also captured emotional moments as several beneficiaries smiled, hugged Mansuri and even touched his feet to express their gratitude for the assistance.
The relief effort comes as Assam continues to recover from the recent floods. On Monday, the state government released the first tranche of interim relief of around Rs 75,000 per household for flood-affected families. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma distributed the assistance from Dibrugarh during his visit to some of the worst-hit districts.
According to officials, the flood toll in Upper Assam has risen to 85. Although the number of affected people has declined to around 1.36 lakh, Sivasagar remains the worst-hit district, followed by Charaideo and Jorhat. The state government is currently operating 54 relief camps and distribution centres across five districts, sheltering over 13,700 people.
