Guwahati's Persistent Civic Issues in 2025

Guwahati's Persistent Civic Issues in 2025

In 2025, Guwahati faced many of the same problems it has had for years.

When it rains, parts of the city flood because the drains are clogged and wetlands are disappearing.

Garbage piles up in the streets, and there aren't enough places to properly process it.

Roads are full of potholes and open drains, making it dangerous for people to walk, especially children and older adults.

The air is also getting dirtier because of cars and construction.

The government has promised to fix these issues, like building new drainage systems and waste treatment plants, but many people are still waiting to see real changes.

As the city moves into 2026, residents hope that their daily lives will become safer and more comfortable.
