Road connectivity between Assam’s Haflong and Silchar has been completely disrupted for the past five days due to heavy rainfall and landslides, with a critical stretch of the Jatinga-Harangajao road washed away. Thousands of trucks bound for Agartala, Mizoram, Silchar, and Haflong are stranded, causing severe traffic jams and distress among drivers, especially near Lumding, where shortages of food and water are acute. Perishable goods are rotting in halted trucks. Additionally, train services have been suspended after a landslip blocked tracks between New Haflong and Jatinga Lampur, leading to a total shutdown of both road and rail links in the region. Authorities are working to restore connectivity, but ongoing rain is hampering efforts.
