Abstract:

Dhubri is a hub for trade in the Assam region of India. Small mechanised boats transport goods from South Garo Hills and Phulbari in Meghalaya to the Dhubri market. These boats are vital for trade between Assam and Meghalaya and for sustaining the livelihoods of local boat traders. Currently, a bridge is constructed between the two states. While many optimistic hopes are attached to this bridge, its impact will extend beyond its positive effects.
