Arunachal Pradesh Faces Flood Fury: Assam Rifles Steps In

Floods in Arunachal Pradesh have caused rivers to overflow, affecting several districts and prompting rescue operations by Assam Rifles. Over 1,400 people were rescued, with numerous villages submerged and landslides disrupting communication. Relief efforts continue as water levels rise, posing significant threats to riverbank communities and low-lying areas.

Floods have wrought havoc in Arunachal Pradesh, with major rivers and their tributaries breaching danger levels, causing widespread devastation. While districts like Namsai, Lohit, Changlang, and East Siang are among the worst hit, landslides triggered by incessant rains have further complicated rescue and relief efforts.

In an intense two-day rescue mission, the Assam Rifles evacuated over 1,400 stranded individuals from flood-affected regions including Lohit, Namsai, and Changlang. The floodwaters washed away houses, submerged villages, and severed critical communication links, intensifying the urgency for relief operations.

Despite marginal improvement in weather conditions, high flood alerts remain in place. Local administrations continue to urge communities to stay vigilant, as rivers maintain dangerously high levels, threatening to inundate more areas and displace additional residents.
