Guwahati, June 12: Within a span of a few days, yet another water supply pipeline caused a flood-like situation in Guwahati’s Rajgarh area on Monday.
According to reports, the incident resulted in a massive water gush in the area with thousands of litres of water being spilled over the road which connects Rajgarh with Commerce College Point in Guwahati.
Emergency response teams have been deployed at the locations, and residents as well as other shop owners in the area have decided to move away from the area to avoid any further mishaps.
There were no reports of injuries or casualties in the incident. However, properties worth lakhs of rupees have been damaged.
Meanwhile, a team from Assam State Disaster Management Authority arrived at the spot, and after their continuous efforts, the water gush was brought under control.
According to reports, last month a Gammon JICA water supply main line pipe burst in the Kharguli area of Guwahati. The burst caused a massive water gush that swept away several vehicles and damaged at least 40 houses. Reportedly, over 600 people were affected and around 30 persons were injured in the incident. One person, Sumitra Rabha, was killed in the incident. She was a resident of one of the houses that was damaged by the water gush.
