Guwahati Deluged: Unyielding Rains Disrupt City Life

Heavy rains in Guwahati led to severe flooding, causing traffic jams and power cuts. The city's major roads were inundated due to the downpour lasting two to three hours. The IMD warned of potential thunderstorms, while the Gauhati High Court emphasized the urgent need for a permanent flood solution.

In the early hours of Tuesday, Guwahati faced severe disruption as heavy rains resulted in widespread flooding.

Major roads in the city were submerged, leading to significant traffic delays and power outages. Areas affected include Zoo Road, RG Baruah Road, and several others, as residents grappled with knee-deep water.

The IMD issued warnings of possible thunderstorms with high winds, highlighting the persistent challenges the city faces. Last August, the Gauhati High Court addressed the need for the government to create a permanent resolution for the city's recurring flood issues.
