Dearth of Transport Hits Commuters In Guwahati

GUWAHATI: With the third phase of election on Tuesday, a total of 577 vehicles have been requisitioned for election use in Kamrup (M). The city buses have reduced drastically in Guwahati city, along with other public carriers causing great inconvenience to the people.
