Severe Waste Management Issues Plague Basistha River Area

The Basistha area in Guwahati is facing severe waste management problems, with the once-clear Basistha River now heavily polluted with garbage. Locals blame the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) and Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) for neglecting the issue, leading to plastic waste accumulation and foul odors. Despite promises of action from GMC officials, residents remain skeptical, citing past unfulfilled commitments.
