Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, Inland Water Transport is gaining momentum and a number of initiatives have been taken to give an impetus to this sector. IWAI received tremendous support from Hon’ble Minister for Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, to augment its activities. The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) under Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, came into existence on 27th October 1986 for development and regulation of inland waterways for shipping and navigation. The Authority primarily undertakes projects for development and maintenance of IWT infrastructure on National Waterways. To boost the use of Inland Water Transport in the country, Hon’ble Prime Minister have launched Jibondhara–Brahmaputra on 18th February, 2021 under which Ro-Ro service at various locations on NW-2 commenced, Foundation stone for IWT terminal at Jogighopa was laid and e-Portals (Car-D and PANI) for Ease-of-Doing-Business were launched. The Car-D and PANI portals are beneficial to stakeholders to have access to real time data of cargo movement on National Waterways and information on Least Available Depth (LAD) and other facilities available on Waterways. To promote the Inland Water Transport, IWAI has also signed 15 MoUs with various agencies during the launch of Maritime India Summit, 2021.

Morphological Dynamics of Braided River Near Bogibeel Bridge, Assam
International Journal of Environmental Planning and Management Vol. 7, No. 3, 2021, pp. 72-86 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ijepm ISSN: 2381-7240 (Print); ISSN: 2381-7259 (Online) Morphological Dynamics of Braided River Near Bogibeel Bridge, Assam Kuldeep Pareta* DHI (India) Water & Environment Pvt Ltd., New Delhi, India Abstract The construction of any structure on a river affects its flow and morpho-dynamics. A river like the Brahmaputra, which has a high volume of flow and sediment, can have huge consequences. Therefore, a morphological study understanding the effect of a structure on a river is also necessary. The present paper focusses on the morphology and morpho-dynamics of Brahmaputra river near the Bogibeel bridge, which aim is to investigate the effect of the bridge on the river morphological behaviour and to inspect any attack on the structure of the bridge and its components (guide bunds, embankments, abutments) by the river. This study of the reach of Brahmaputra river near Bogibeel bridge has been carried-out using the cross-section data - bathymetry data (2004-2017), Landsat satellite imageries (2004-2021), and field assessment data (2020). Morphological dynamics of rivers are affected by any natural and anthropogenic perturbation in the system. The effect of any structure can be seen in the morphological changes in the river system pre-and post-construction. It is, therefore, necessary to familiarize with the major geomorphic attributes of Brahmaputra river. Notable these are braided planform, bedforms and sediment transport. The erosion and deposition pattern of Brahmaputra river reach nearby Bogibeel bridge is showing a decreasing trend, which corresponds to the good river training work and flood management in that area over the last few years.

Dhubri-Jogighopa-Guwahati Landscape
Field Diary – Dhubri-Jogighopa-Guwahati Landscape Kajal Sharda Research Associate, CUTS International About the Field Visit Under the project titled „Enabling a Political Economy Discourse for Multi-modal Connectivity in the BBIN Sub-region (M-Connect)‟, a team from CUTS International comprising Arnab Ganguly, Sayandeep Chattopadhyay and Kajal Sharda visited Dhubri, Jogighopa, and Guwahati in Assam in November 2020. The purpose of the visit was to understand the ground realities and challenges faced in multi- modal transportation and logistics in the region. Map of the locations 1 Strategic Inland Waterways locations in lower Assam CUTS team landed at Bagdogra airport and stayed for a night in Cooch Behar- a city in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas. After the night halt, the team left for identified locations in Assam. The team visited Dhubri, Jogighopa and Guwahati for a week and interviewed a diverse group of individuals. These locations are integral to the National Waterway-2 (Brahmaputra River) and are strategic in terms of the multimodal connectivity initiatives being pursued by India and other countries of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal (BBIN) sub-region. The team was excited to visit the locations as a Multi-modal Logistics Park (MMLP) is being constructed at Jogighopa. It is also included as a Port of Call in the Second Addendum under Protocol on Inland Water Transit and Trade (PIWTT) between India and Bangladesh. Dhubri and Pandu are also Ports of Call between India and Bangladesh under PIWTT. The underutilised trade via Dhubri Dhubri is a small town situated on the banks of Brahmaputra. There are no big industries in Dhubri and it is primarily dependent on agricultural and handicraft products.

Connect to Current -Daily Current Capsules (Prelims Prep. Prominence) 26th December 2018 India's Longest Railroad Bridge In Assam's Bogibeel across river Brahmaputra Relevance in – Prelims ( facts) and Mains GS Paper III ( Infrastructure development and Security challenges) What’s the NEWS The 4.94 km Bogibeel, the fourth bridge across river Brahmaputra inaugurated by Prime Minister Know all about Bogibeel Bridge Bogibeel Bridge in Assam, which happens to be Asia's second longest railroad connector, has a lifespan of around 120 years, authorities said Prime Minister Narendra Modi today opened the Bogibeel railroad bridge in Assam, billed as India's longest railroad bridge. Its foundation was laid in 1997. THE FIVE-KILOMETRE STRUCTURE SPANS THE WATERS OF THE MIGHTY BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER. Bogibeel bridge will connect Assam's Dibrugarh and Dhemaji districts, bordering Arunachal Pradesh. It will cut the travel time between the two points by four hours and help avoid a 170-km detour. With its proximity to the China border, the bridge also has tremendous significance for India's defence and has been built strong enough to support the movement of tanks and even fighter jet landings. Designed like a bridge that links Sweden and Denmark, it is India's only fully-welded bridge for which European codes and welding standards were followed. A fully welded bridge has a low maintenance cost The 4.9 km-long bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs. 5,900 crore - exceeding its initial budget of about Rs. 3,200 crore and originally planned length of 4.31 km. The foundation stone of the project was laid by former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda on January 22, 1997, while work began on April 21, 2002 under the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led government.

Arunachal Pradesh Offers an Especially Phenomenal Patchwork of an Especially Phenomenal Pradesh Offers Arunachal India
© Lonely Planet Publications 591 Northeast States India’s 1947 partition left the northeastern states dangling like a crooked cartographic handle, way out on the edge of the national map and consciousness. Yet the great, flat Brahmapu- tra valley was traditionally a Vedic heartland and backdrop to several Krishna tales. And NORTHEAST STATES Assam’s beautiful tea plantations remain India’s most productive. In contrast, most of the mountainous surrounding states are home to a fascinatingly fragmented jigsaw of ‘tribal’ peoples. Cultures and facial features there have more in common with Burma and Tibet than with mainstream India. Arunachal Pradesh offers an especially phenomenal patchwork of hill tribes amid seemingly endless mountain ranges. These are mostly forested but crest in a series of gorgeous Himalayan ridges dotted with colourful Tibetan-Buddhist monasteries, including India’s largest at wonderful Tawang. In recent decades many ethno-linguistic groups have jostled – often violently – to assert themselves in the face of immigration, governmental neglect and heavy-handed defence policy. Along with the infuriating permits (not required for Assam, Meghalaya or Tripura), and the lack of any truly iconic ‘must-see’ attraction, it’s the somewhat exaggerated safety worries that deter most travellers from visiting the northeast. That means you’ll meet very few foreigners in the region’s magnificent national parks. And you’ll get vast tracts of fabu- lous rice, tea and mountain scenery all pretty much to yourself. Quite a few insurgency campaigns do rumble on, but generally the people here are among the friendliest in the whole subcontinent. Although fabled as head-hunting warriors, most citizens of tribal states, like Mizoram and Nagaland, seem more interested these days in perfecting their English and penning rap songs about the love of Jesus.
