Itanagar: Relentless monsoon rains wiped out the Manmao-Changlang highway in Arunachal Pradesh. The road caved in at multiple spots. It is now a wreck. Intense storms triggered landslides and floods across the Changlang district, washing away embankments and leaving residents stranded.
The damage cut off vital trade and emergency services. Commuters are stuck. Authorities told people to stay off the road while engineers look at the wreckage to plan repairs. Residents worry about the long-term impact on their communities.
"The highway serves as a crucial lifeline for communities in the region," locals noted during the disruption. This route is how food and medicine reach isolated families.
Disaster teams are currently on the ground monitoring the slides. The India Meteorological Department expects more rain this week. Officials warned residents near slopes and rivers to stay alert. The state government is coordinating relief efforts, but the path to recovery remains uncertain.
