Assam: Ferry services between Jorhat and Majuli suspended

Digital Desk: Ferry services between Majuli and Jorhat were suspended on Tuesday Tuesday as a result of the Brahmaputra River flowing above the danger level.

As per reports, the Inland Water Transport Department (IWTD) took the decision, as the Brahmaputra River's water level had risen over the danger level.

As a result, ferry services between Jorhat’s Nimatighat and Kamalabari ferry ghat in Majuli were suspended.

It should be noted that the Brahmaputra River is flowing above the danger levels on Monday, while none of the other rivers in Assam is flowing above the highest flood level, according to the daily flood data released by the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA).

Reportedly, three revenue circles in Assam's Dhemaji and Dibrugarh districts are still being negatively impacted by the flood. The effects of the floods are still being felt in Jonai and Sissiborgaon revenue circles in Dhemaji and Chabua in Dibrugarh.

According to the report, a single relief camp is currently operating in Dhemaji's Jonai which is catering to the needs of 48 inmates including eight children, who are still camped there as flood waters keep disrupting normal life in these areas.

The daily flood report also stated that no one has been reported missing or lost in the past 24 hours. In addition, no damage was caused to property including houses and livestock in the same period.

Meanwhile, a landslide was reported in Dima Hasao's Haflong, while erosion was reported from Chapar in Dhubri, Tengakhat in Dibrugarh, Bihpuria in Lakhimpur, Laharighat in Morigaon, and Barkhetri in Nalbari.
