Due to foggy weather conditions in Majuli, the world's largest riverine island, ferry movement from Aphalamukh ghat to Nimati ghat (to and fro) has been delayed for several hours on Thursday morning.
Several ferries plying between the aforementioned ghats remain stranded at 7.30 am today.
On the other hand, ferries and streamers plying between Kamalabari Ferry Ghat and Nimati Ghat are unable to move as the water level in the Brahmaputra River has dropped so low that barges are getting stuck, informed sources.
Earlier, the Regional Meteorological Department (RMC) on Wednesday forecasted cold weather conditions across northeastern states for the next five days.
According to weather experts of the RMC Guwahati, Assam along with the entire Northeast is likely to witness shallow to moderate fog from January 11 to 15.
In a statement, the IMD said that the weather changes will occur due to easterly or north-easterly winds prevailing over the region in lower tropospheric levels.
According to the statement, the weather is likely to remain dry over all northeastern states along with shallow to moderate fog likely in isolated pockets.
