Heavy Rainfall Forecast in Guwahati, Public Urged to Stay Alert

Guwahati, April 26: The Meteorological Department has forecast heavy rainfall in Guwahati over the next three to four days. According to the Regional Meteorological Centre, the city and its surrounding areas are likely to experience thunderstorms, gusty winds, and continuous rain.
