Continuous heavy rains have crippled surface communication in Arunachal Pradesh's Lower Siang district, local officials reported.
The relentless downpour has obstructed the Aalo-Likabali road at multiple points since Saturday, confirmed Mokar Riba, additional deputy commissioner of Likabali. The road, vital for districts including West Siang and Leparada, is blocked by landslide rubble in several areas, Riba added.
Despite efforts by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL), progress is hampered by the incessant rain. The public is advised against nighttime travel due to landslides. Since May, the monsoon has impacted 26 districts and claimed at least 14 lives.
