GUWAHATI: A 12-hour local bandh called by a joint committee of various organisations in North Guwahati since Friday morning against Wednesday afternoon’s boat tragedy has paralysed life in the area even as a huge search party comprising personnel of Indian Army, Indian Navy, the NDRF and SDRF resumed search operation on Brahmaputra River since morning for the third day.

The big Army search party has five officers, seven JCOs and 70 other personnel.  Thursday’s search operation failed to fish out any victims of the boat tragedy.  Four persons including two girl students were killed and 19 others rescued alive after the boat mishap on Wednesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, authorities have arrested the owner of the private motorboat, Kamal Das, which met with accident on Brahmaputra river of Wednesday afternoon.
