Pathsala, Assam: A dramatic turn of events marred the Pathsala Raas Festival last night as two colossal bamboo gates, erected at the festival’s entrance and Station Road, succumbed to the fury of a sudden storm and heavy rain.
The intricate bamboo structures, adorned with twinkling electric lights, were a centerpiece of the festival, drawing crowds of admirers. However, the tempestuous weather proved too much for the delicate craftsmanship.
While the collapse of the gates has caused significant disruption to local traffic and festival activities, fortunately, no injuries have been reported. Authorities are currently working to assess the extent of the damage and implement measures to restore normalcy.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of the region’s weather and the importance of preparedness.
