Assam Minister Orders Quick Resumption of Ferry Services Before Raas Festival

Assam Transport Minister Keshab Mahanta has directed officials to urgently resume ferry services between Nimatighat and Kamalabari before the Raas Festival. The services were halted due to low water levels in the Brahmaputra, causing new sandbanks to block the route. Mahanta announced that a dredger from Dibrugarh has been arranged to clear the waterway, ensuring swift restoration of operations. He shared updates from his visit to Nimatighat via his social media handle.
