An 11-member team of doctors, nurses, and staff from Dibrugarh who have been stranded on a sandbar in the middle of the Brahmaputra River at Charkhalia Chapori were rescued on Sunday evening by an SDRF team.
The team had been stranded at the sandbar since last night after they reportedly lost their way due to inclement weather.
