Amid marginal improvement in weather, rivers and tributaries in Arunachal Pradesh continue to flow above danger levels, escalating flood and landslide concerns across the northeastern state. Officials report severe impact in four districts—Namsai, Lohit, Changlang, and East Siang.

In a commendable rescue operation, the Assam Rifles have saved approximately 1400 people in Lohit, Namsai, and Changlang districts over the past two days, demonstrating extraordinary courage and commitment amidst the natural disaster.

The rising waters of the Kameng and Kurung rivers have washed away homes and crucial bridges, further complicating relief efforts. A high flood alert persists in Namsai and Lohit's Wakro circle, affecting over 34 villages.

District administrations are urging residents to remain vigilant and take precautionary measures as officials continue to monitor water levels, which threaten riverbank communities and disrupt surface communication.

The Miao Battalion's 'Jal Rahat' relief operation highlights the ongoing struggle and resilience of the communities in Lohit, Namsai, and Changlang amid the flooding. Food supplies and essential provisions are being distributed, ensuring immediate relief for the affected population.
