In Rajgarh, Guwahati water pipeline burst flood-like scene created

Guwahati: Another water supply pipeline burst, creating a flood-like scene in Guwahati’s Rajgarh area on Monday.

The incident resulted in a large water puddle in the area and thousands of liters of water spilled onto the road that connects Rajgarh to Commerce College Point in Guwahati.
The sudden flow of water disrupted vehicular traffic in the area.

Emergency response teams have been deployed at the locations and residents as well as other shopkeepers in the area have decided to move away from the area to avoid any further mishaps.
No casualty has been reported in this incident yet.

Earlier on May 25, a massive pipeline burst in Guwahati’s Kharguli area, killing a woman and injuring several others. One Sumitra Das Rabha lost her life when the wall collapsed due to the pressure of the water.
As a result of the eruption, water supply was disrupted at many places in Guwahati.

The Assam Human Rights Commission (AHRC) took suo motu notice of the burst water pipeline and directed the Kamrup Metro District Magistrate to investigate and submit a report to the AHRC at the earliest.
