Few small machine boats or bhoot bhutis are seen to ply now on Brahmaputra as per to the state’s new law after Ashwaklanta tragic mishap where implemented few big size ferries remains overly crowded against the safety law measure in Guwhati, Assam.
Present scenario of network through Brahmaputra in Guwahati is that a ferry of 150 load capacity is carrying 290 load plus and 300 capacity is carrying 400 plus load with additional loads of goods and vehicles which has become a threat to the passenger. The people are in the demand of more ferries for better safety and faster service. So that every half an hour if a ferry service is provided then people can meet less risk rather than plying on a loaded one and can reach destination without much wastage of time.
People are happy that the government has shown greater initiative by implementing big size ferries instead of small boat from 15th September. But as per to the growing demands of the people it has become more important to implement more such water vessels. Plus speedy implementation of double engine boats as against single ones that had been promised by the government after the Ashwaklanta boat tragedy is demanded under the present pathetic condition of limited service on water route.
North Guwahati could be linked to the main Guwahati city via river in fastest manner. To seek emergency help for patients, to meet office time deadline and reach school in time which earlier people had managed with much risk by travelling on unsafe bhoot bhuti or engine device small ferry but after the imposition of the new law on water vessel service after the Ashwaklanta boat tragedy have changed things dramatically for the commuters.
