A tragic incident occurred in Guwahati on Thursday as 14-year-old Amit Chauhan drowned in the Brahmaputra River. The young boy, a resident of the Birubari area, had gone to the river for a bath with a friend around 1:30 PM. Witnesses reported that Amit was carrying his school bag when he was swept away by the river’s powerful currents. Prompt action was taken as a search operation ensued, involving teams from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). Unfortunately, later in the day, Amit’s body was discovered near Sukreswar Ghat. This incident follows a recent similar tragedy involving an 11-year-old in the same river.
