With floodwaters receding in some areas, water borne diseases such as diarrhoea, jaundice, typhoid and skin conditions, are spreading, adding to the overall miserable conditions of the people.
However, this is not the first case of such an incident being reported in the city, each year, especially in summer, the same scenario has been repeating for decades.
The Guwahati Municipal Corporation provided a toll-free number 08811007000 for any assistance needed by the citizens due to waterlogging during the rainy season.
