GUWAHATI: The Assam Inland Water Transport (IWT) department on Monday cancelled ferry services from Madhyam Khanda Ghat in North Guwahati and Pandu Ghat as the water level of the Brahmaputra is on a continuous rise.
In Guwahati, nearly 30,000 passengers use the inland water transport every day.
IWT sources said the Brahmaputra was rising and if such a situation persists, all Ghats will have to stop operating.

However, due of the lack of proper rules, private boats continue to ply in rising water levels of the Brahmaputra.
