In Assam's Guwahati, a fatal landslide claimed the lives of three women, officials confirmed Saturday. The tragedy occurred in the Bonda area, following relentless rainfall that has affected western and southern parts of the state.
The devastation extends beyond landslides, with widespread flooding reported. Lakhimpur district has been hit hard as water levels continue to rise due to rains in Arunachal Pradesh. Agencies are working tirelessly to assist those stranded, some of whom have resorted to setting up temporary shelters.
A red alert has been issued for 18 districts, as incessant rain creates abnormal conditions. Schools are closed, and transport services, including flights, have been disrupted in Kamrup and Kamrup Metropolitan districts.
