Monsoon tracker update: Monsoon Fury hits Arunachal; IAF rescues stranded people, there are three floods

Heavy monsoon rains continued to lash across Arunachal Pradesh today, with rescue operations underway in several districts as floods and landslides damaged roads, bridges and houses, claimed lives and disrupted connectivity in at least 12 districts.

In the Lower Dibang Valley district, an Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter today rescued four people who were stranded on an island in the Sisiri River in the Dambuk area.

Heavy rainfall also severely damaged the Roing-Anini road in Lower Dibang Valley district, with flash floods washing away roads and bridges at several places.

An excavator operator was feared dead in Anjaw district after a massive rock crushed a highway construction vehicle near Sarti village towards Walong last night.
