As heavy rainfall continues to lash Guwahati and neighboring areas, the Brahmaputra River’s swelling water level has prompted authorities to suspend ferry services between Guwahati and North Guwahati. The suspension, a precautionary measure, aims to ensure public safety amid the escalating water levels and adverse weather conditions.
Over the past 24 hours, Guwahati has experienced relentless rainfall, leading to waterlogging in various parts of the city and triggering artificial floods. The downpour, accompanied by storms, has compounded the challenges faced by residents, causing inconvenience and disruptions to daily life.
In response to the situation, the Indian Meteorological Department has issued Orange and Yellow alerts for several areas in Assam and other Northeastern states. Residents are advised to exercise caution and avoid venturing into low-lying areas as the water level of the Brahmaputra River is expected to rise further.
Authorities are actively monitoring the weather situation and coordinating rescue and relief efforts to address any emergencies that may arise. The safety and well-being of residents remain a top priority as the region navigates through the challenges posed by the inclement weather.
