27-Year-Old Dies, Two Injured After Roadside Slab Collapse in ItanagarPreviousNext

A 27-year-old man died and two others were injured after a roadside slab collapsed near a bridge in Itanagar's Chimpu area on Tuesday evening. The three men were sitting near a car and a scooter when the ground gave way, possibly due to water seepage and soil erosion. Rescue teams, including the State Disaster Response Force and National Disaster Response Force, assisted in the operation. The deceased was identified as Tama Baja, while the injured were Kapwang Arangham and Ajay Jerang.
