In response to the tragic death of a young boy, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a comprehensive satellite survey to identify open manholes and drains in Guwahati.

This directive comes after four-year-old Sunit Kumar fell into an uncovered drain amidst ongoing construction near his Arya Nagar residence.

Authorities have been urged to address the theft of protective cement slabs and ensure pedestrian safety across the city, as Sarma reaffirms his commitment to preventing future tragedies.
