Fresh floods and landslides have struck five districts in Arunachal Pradesh, causing widespread damage and prompting emergency responses.
Fresh floods and landslides have erupted across five districts in Arunachal Pradesh, according to reports from NDTV. The sudden downpour triggered rapid water accumulation in low‑lying areas, while unstable slopes gave way, sending debris into villages and roads.
Local authorities have deployed emergency teams to assess damage and provide relief to affected residents. Rescue operations are underway in several hamlets where homes have been washed away or damaged by falling rocks.
The state government has issued a statement urging residents in flood‑prone zones to stay alert and follow evacuation orders. Relief supplies, including food, water and temporary shelters, are being distributed by the Arunachal Pradesh Disaster Management Authority.
While the full extent of the damage is still being evaluated, preliminary reports indicate that infrastructure such as bridges and communication lines have been disrupted in the impacted districts.
