Incessant rain in the last couple of days has created a flood-like situation in several Arunachal Pradesh districts triggering landslides, disrupting surface communication and rendering people homeless.
Lohit, East Siang, Tawang and Lower Dibang are the most affected districts, an official report said. A report from Tawang district bordering China said that the continuous downpour has triggered major landslides at seven places in the district causing loss of property.
Two persons sustained injuries in the landslides and were undergoing treatment at <g data-gr-id="16">Lumla</g> Primary Health Centre, the report said. Two major points affected by the landslides at <g data-gr-id="17">Kudung</g> and Thongleng villages were being cleared, BRO sources said.
DC Duly <g data-gr-id="18">Kamduk</g> has instructed all the departments to assess and submit damage reports immediately with many places like <g data-gr-id="19">Lumla</g>, Zemithang and Dudunghar being cut-off from the rest of the state.
The flood-like situation in Lohit district has also worsened in the past three days as all the rivers in and around <g data-gr-id="20">Tezu</g> and Sunpura circles are flowing above the danger mark.
The district headquarters recorded 318.40 mm rainfall since Sunday snapping surface communication between <g data-gr-id="15">Tezu</g>-Tinsukia via Alubari Ghat and Parsuram Kund routes.
