Dighalipukhuri Faces Neglect Amid Pollution and Administrative Apathy

Once a cultural hub, Guwahati’s Dighalipukhuri now suffers from pollution, dead fish, and plastic waste. Locals blame administrative confusion, with the GMC and Tourism Department shifting responsibility. Citizens have begun clean-up drives, but lack of official support hinders progress. Concerns also rise over a proposed boundary wall, seen by many as hiding, not solving, the problem.
