On the other hand, the ongoing construction works have added to the woes of the commuters.
It has become a recurring phenomenon of the city causing hindrance in commutation for public and private transport system.
The artificial flood of Guwahati has made the people suffer since a long time. But no major steps have been taken by the government of Assam in controlling the artificial flood scenario.
The rapidly developing metropolitan environment has indiscriminately changed the large vacant lands and natural drainage controls which has changed the ecology and worsened the artificial flood situation of Guwahati.
