Lakhs of devotees, including Governor Jagdish Mukhi and Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, paid their obeisance to the Mother Goddess on the occasion. Ambubachi holds a special significance in the religious as well as administrative calendar of the State, when the capital city plays host to nearly 35-45 lakh people every year. Apart from the local visitors, the pilgrims, tourists, Shakti worshippers and heads of various religious institutions from across the country participate in the five-day festival.
- The Chief Minister was among the first visitors today after the reopening of doors. The Governor along with his wife also visited the temple. Later, talking to the mediapersons, he said that he was happy to be a part of the Ambubachi festival and wished for peace and prosperity of Assam.
- Apart from the fair and festivities, Ambubachi has a spiritual significance among the believers, who consider it an auspicious time to connect with the divine power through meditation. Anandji Maharaj comes every year to Guwahati from Rajasthan for meditation and stays at the house of a local panda (priest).

· Now, water ATMs at more than 100 railway stations across India
- State-of-the-art water ATMs are now available at more than 100 railway stations across the country, supplying purified water to passengers at low cost.
- The Indian Railway Tourism and Catering Corporation (IRCTC) had tied up with water technology venture, Swajal, last year for the installation of such water ATMs. These ATMs dispense water at 104 railway stations across 14 states in the country. Out of these 104 railway stations, 30 per cent are high-footfall ones and 70 per cent are rural stations.
- The scheme was included in the Union Budget of 2016 and aims at generating around 40,000 jobs across the country. The water ATMs are useful to passengers who can fill up their water bottles at the station premises and avoid buying expensive packaged water. Also because these ATMs promote the use of degradable material, use of plastic will also reduce.
- The initiative has made a huge leap in reducing the use and careless disposal of plastic water bottles by travellers, as the water dispensed through the ATMs is available in water cups or passengers can bring their own containers.
- Its water technology purifies water up to ten filtration stages and dispenses water up to 10,000 litres per hour in some locations. They can also dispense water in different quantities – 300 ml, 500 ml, 1 litre, 2 litres and 5 litres.
