JORHAT, July 13: To and fro ferry services from Assam’s Majuli have been suspended indefinitely amid a rise in the water levels of the Brahmaputra river last night.
According to a report, the decision to suspend ferry services in Majuli was taken in view of the safety of passengers. Also, the rising water levels of the Brahmaputra River have led to the ferry ramps getting completely submerged, prompting the authorities decision.
According to the Inland Water Transport Department, the decision will remain in force until the water levels subside below the danger levels.
Meanwhile, sources informed that ferry services have been suspended at both the Aphalamukh-Nimati and Kamalabari-Nimati ghats.
