Durga puja over but mess remains – Sawkuchi ghat turns garbage dump

Even today, the Sawkuchi Visarjan Ghat is in a dirty, filthy condition. The Basistha River has now come to a standstill.

The riverbed is filled with Devi idols and garbage.
On 21st October, Vijaya Dashami, hundreds of Durga Puja celebration committees immersed idols and ghats at this ghat.

But the Guwahati Municipal Corporation has not cleaned the ghat and the Basistha River till today. This year during Durga Puja, the Guwahati Municipal Corporation had given special importance to cleanliness.

But even after that, such filthy condition of the ghat has raised questions —

Is this negligence of the Municipal Corporation, or neglect by the Idol Immersion Ghat Committee.
