Movement of traffic was also affected following the flash floods.
“It’s pathetic. Everytime rains lash Guwahati, it leads to waterlogging. Our lives have become pathetic. The government seriously needs to do something to minimize waterlogging and flash floods,” Noyana Das, a college student, told News Live.
Apart from other flood-prone localities, there have also been reports of waterlogging inside the old MLA hostel complex with water entering a few houses as well.
