The most affected area was the Zoo Road Tiniali area where several coaching classes are located.
Students had to wade through the flood waters risking their lives to attend their coaching classes which they cannot afford to miss out.
Vehicles remained stranded due to water logging on the road and the road witnessed a major traffic snarl.
Nikita Kar, a student of Gauhati Commerce College, told Northeast Now, “This is what Guwahati is. The city reels under flood waters in just an hour’s shower. We are now used to this.”
“We are now going to tuition by taking such a grave risk to our lives. Because, there may be manhole on the footpath,” she added.
Electricity was shut down in most places of the city immediately after the rain had started fearing more electrocution incidents.
