Concerns Rise Over Deepor Beel Railway Project

Concerns are growing over the ongoing elevated railway corridor project near Deepor Beel, with many questioning the environmental impact on the Ramsar site and its surrounding greenery.

The 4.7-km railway corridor aims to reduce elephant deaths caused by train accidents, but critics say the construction is damaging the wetland’s fragile ecosystem and shrinking Guwahati’s natural buffer zones in the name of development.
