Artificial flood hits various parts of Guwahati on Friday. Major places of the city were flooded due to the rain including Beltola ,Ganeshguri, Chandmari, Zoo road and Jorabat.

Heavy showers for an hour caused the artificial flood in the city. The artificial flood of Guwahati has made the people suffer since a long time.
