    Digital Desk: The Majuli-Nimati ferry services in Assam have been unexpectedly cancelled indefinitely due to an upsurge in the water level of the Brahmaputra River caused by continuous severe rainfall.

    The decision was taken by the Inland Water Transport Department in response to rising water levels.

    As the situation unwinds, concerns about transportation and the impact of inclement weather linger, emphasising the difficulties that the local population has as a result of the weather being erratic.

    Passengers have expressed concern and terror as a result of the abrupt halt of services.
