Severe Flooding and Landslides Devastate Arunachal Pradesh

Summary:
Heavy rainfall in Arunachal Pradesh has led to severe flooding and landslides, causing extensive disruption across multiple districts and cutting off several areas from the state capital, Itanagar. The continuous rains have triggered landslips, isolating communities, blocking roads, and hampering relief efforts. Particularly affected are the Damin, Parsi Parlo, and Panyasang circles in Kurung Kumey district, multiple major roads including the Tezu-Hayuliang road, and NH-513 in East Siang district. Since April, these natural disasters have impacted over 72,900 people across 257 villages, resulting in four fatalities. A high flood alert has been issued for Namsai and Wakro, and the Burha Dehing river has caused significant damage in Bordumsa, Changlang district. Itanagar is experiencing a severe water crisis due to pipeline damage, with ongoing restoration efforts. The Indian Army and other agencies are actively involved in rescue and relief operations, providing shelters, food, and medical aid to affected residents. Authorities continue to urge caution and preparedness amidst ongoing relief efforts.
