Floods and Landslides Disrupt Connectivity and Relief Efforts in Arunachal Pradesh
Recent heavy rains and flash floods have severely affected multiple areas in Arunachal Pradesh, including Possa village, NEEPCO Colony, and Upper Ramle Banggo circle. While some affected regions received visits from government officials, villages in Dari circle remain overlooked, with little official reporting on their plight. In Upper Subansiri district's Giba circle, over 22 villages have been cut off due to landslides, causing shortages of essentials and prompting local leaders to criticize the government's lack of action on road restoration and electricity provision.
