The IMD’s warning cited potential severe disruptions, stating, “The weather may aggravate water logging, slow vehicular movement, and increase the risk of localised landslides in vulnerable pockets.” City authorities are actively monitoring the situation and have placed emergency response teams on high alert to manage any arising issues.
In light of recent incidents of landslides and waterlogging caused by very heavy rainfall in the city a few days prior, the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) has urged all Guwahati residents to “take all necessary precautions and remain vigilant.”
Authorities advise daily commuters and long-distance travelers to plan their journeys accordingly and avoid unnecessary movement during periods of intense rainfall.
