According to preliminary reports, there are as many as 101 persons onboard the ferry that was stranded on the Brahmaputra River near Majuli.
Reportedly, the ferry left the Nimati Ghat at around 7.30 a.m. this morning and was on its way to the Kamalabari Ghat when it got stranded.
Apart from passengers, the ferry also carries several vehicles, including two-wheelers.
