Assam Floods Suspend Ferry to Majuli
In Assam, India, the Brahmaputra River's water level has risen a lot, causing floods.
Because of this, all ferry services to Majuli, a big river island, have been stopped.
This is to keep people safe because the water is too high and strong, and there is floating debris.
Thousands of people who travel daily for work, school, and medical needs are affected.
The floods have also caused some deaths and affected many people in several districts.
Authorities are advising people to avoid unnecessary travel and wait for official updates.
Ferry services to Majuli suspended indefinitely due to rising Brahmaputra water levels.
Ferry ramps at Kamalabari and Aphalamukh ghats submerged, making navigation unsafe.
All ferry services from Kamalabari and Aphalamukh halted, disrupting transport for thousands.
Flood situation worsened, with one death reported in Sivasagar district, raising the toll to five.
Over 57,100 people affected across seven districts, with Charaideo being the worst-hit.
