Two women met watery grave in Lakhimpur when the boat ferrying a few people capsized on the middle of a river on Wednesday.
The incident took place on the river Bogolijan which started swelling from Tuesday after NEEPCO released a huge volume of waters from its Ranganadi dam.
As the boat reached the middle of the river, the boat suddenly capsized under the impact of the strong current forcing many local residents to come to the rescue of the passengers.
SDRF jawans and local residents tried their best to rescue them. But they failed to save Pallavi Saikia and Munmi Saikia who met watery grave sending shock in the entire area.
