💨 Abstract

Opposition parties in Assam criticized the BJP-led government for demolishing the Mahafezkhana, an old concrete structure on the Brahmaputra riverbank in Guwahati, as part of a riverfront beautification project. The structure, which reportedly withstood earthquakes in 1897 and 1950, is a ready archive of maps, administrative orders, and land records.
