At least 12 people have died and one is missing following landslides and floods triggered by this year’s monsoon rains in Arunachal Pradesh, according to the State Emergency Operation Centre. Floods and landslides have affected 215 villages across 24 districts, impacting over 33,000 residents. Changlang district is the worst hit, with thousands evacuated and several villages inundated. The disasters have damaged 512 houses, killed 432 livestock, and destroyed infrastructure including bridges, water supply projects, and farmland. Relief and rescue operations are ongoing, with authorities providing shelter and pressing ferry services where road connectivity is lost. While the flood situation has marginally improved and rivers are now below danger levels, restoration work continues as officials address drinking water shortages and damaged public utilities.
