Digital Desk: In response to rising water levels, strong currents, and the presence of debris and submerged objects in the Brahmaputra River, the Inland Water Transport (IWT) department has placed temporary restrictions on ferry boats and vessels operating in Guwahati-based ferry services.

Following hours of intense rain on April 27, the water level rose dramatically, causing waterlogging and artificial flooding in several areas of Guwahati city.

Limiting the movement of ferry boats and other vessels is a standard precaution implemented to guarantee the security of passengers utilizing water transportation.

Additionally, the IMD has predicted further rain in the next few days, with strong storms predicted for the Northeastern regions.
