Sudden Chandmari Flyover Closure Triggers Traffic Chaos in Guwahati

Guwahati faced severe traffic disruption after both lanes of the Chandmari flyover were abruptly closed due to MRD Road flyover construction, without prior public notice. Poor coordination between PWD, contractors, and traffic police led to massive congestion, chaotic diversions through residential areas, and dust pollution. Commuters and residents criticised the lack of planning, while traffic police admitted sudden closures made management difficult.
