Guwahati: A landslide ripped through Mahur in Assam’s Dima Hasao district after days of relentless rain. The slide crushed four houses and the Soron Presbyterian High School. Debris remains a threat. Terrified families are scrambling to move their belongings to higher ground.
Locals pointed fingers at the National Highways Authority of India. They claim ongoing work on National Highway 27 triggered the soil collapse. Residents argue the heavy construction work created the instability that led to the disaster. The area remains volatile.
Affected families want action. They are demanding that the Dima Hasao district administration assess the damage and provide aid. The villagers also told the National Highways Authority of India to pay for their lost property. "Residents have warned that they may launch an agitation if their compensation demands are not addressed," according to local accounts. Officials have yet to provide a clear path forward for those left in the ruins.
