Arunachal Flash Floods: Third Victim’s Body Recovered, Landslides Keep Seven Districts Isolated

The state of Arunachal Pradesh was struck by sudden flash floods in the past week, claiming several lives and leaving many missing. The third victim’s body was recovered from the Tawang district, where heavy rainfall had caused rivers to overflow. Despite the recovery, landslides triggered by the same rains have cut off road access to seven districts, including Pasighat and Ziro, making it difficult for relief teams to reach affected communities. The Arunachal Pradesh government has deployed additional troops and helicopters to aid rescue operations, while the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is on standby to assist where necessary. Local authorities urge residents to stay alert and follow evacuation orders as the monsoon season continues.
