### Public Utilities

Infrastructure in Majuli is continuously developing, overcoming the logistical challenges of its riverine geography.

* **Electricity:** Managed by the Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL). While electrification has improved drastically, occasional power outages occur, especially during heavy monsoons. * **Water:** Hand pumps and tube wells are common. The Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) of Assam is working to expand piped drinking water to all households under the Jal Jeevan Mission. * **Gas:** LPG cylinders are distributed via local agencies connected to major national providers (like Indane). * **Waste Management:** The Majuli Municipal Board and local Gaon Panchayats handle waste management. The island has strong local campaigns advocating for plastic-free zones to protect its fragile ecology. * **Telecommunications:** Major cellular networks (Jio, Airtel, BSNL) are available, with 4G coverage in most populated areas, though signal strength can vary.
