Another water pipe bursts in Guwahati city on Friday noon, this time at Borbari in Hengerabari area of the city making it to be the sixth incident in a row.

Visuals show water spewing out of the pipe at a comparatively lower density than in the previous water pipeline burst cases. The incident was reported near Nabajyoti Club located at Borbari.

While the burst wasn’t lethal, the re-run of these incidents draws a sharp contrast to the government’s commitment to curb such mishaps from happening.

Recently, a newly installed water pipeline of the Guwahati Jal Board burst at Rajgarh Road near Commerce College Link Road. There were no reports of injuries or casualties in the incident, however, properties worth lakhs of rupees were damaged.
