Heavy rains triggered floods and landslides in Arunachal Pradesh’s East Siang and Kamle districts, causing widespread damage and displacing residents.
Heavy monsoon rains over the past week have caused severe flooding and landslides in the East Siang and Kamle districts of Arunachal Pradesh. River levels rose sharply, submerging villages along the Siang River and its tributaries.
Local authorities report that several houses were swept away and dozens of people were forced to evacuate to higher ground. Rescue teams from the Arunachal Pradesh Disaster Management Authority have set up temporary shelters and are conducting search‑and‑rescue operations.
The state government has issued a warning to residents in low‑lying areas to remain vigilant and has requested assistance from the central government for relief supplies. Early estimates suggest that the damage could reach millions of rupees, with infrastructure such as roads and bridges also affected.
Officials urge the public to stay away from flooded roads and to follow instructions from local police and disaster management officials.
