Majuli in Assam have been indefinitely suspended due to an unsettling rise in the Brahmaputra River's water levels.
Reports state that the decision to halt ferry operations in Majuli was made with the passengers' safety in mind. The decision by the government was also prompted by the ferry ramps becoming entirely submerged due to the Brahmaputra River's rising water levels.
The decision, according to the Inland Water Transport Department, will be in force until the water levels drop below the danger levels.
