Landslip cuts off 3 districts in Arunachal Pradesh

Tezpur: Three districts of Arunachal Pradesh, including the picturesque Tawang bordering China, were cut off due to landslip following torrential rain on Friday.

Road communication to the three districts of Tawang, East and West Kameng districts was snapped as boulders fell on the road between Tenga and Bomdilla, sources in Border Roads Organisation (BRO) said.

Hundreds of trucks, loaded with essential supplies, and other vehicles remained stranded on the road.

The three hilly districts are being given essential supplies from neighbouring Assam’s Sonitpur district.

BRO officials, entrusted with looking after the road, said the work of clearing the debris was delayed owing to the continuous heavy rains. — PTI
