Guwahati: In the wake of recent mishaps around the under-construction flyover in Maligaon, Guwahati, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited the site on Wednesday.
Earlier, on June 2, sparks from welding work being done on the Maligaon flyover fell over vehicles on the road, posing a danger to human life.
On Tuesday, an iron shuttering slab fell on two people below the under-construction flyover project, who were then rushed to the hospital. Additionally, a vehicle was also damaged.
