At least 25 people have been killed across the Northeast following days of relentless monsoon rains that triggered widespread landslides and flash floods, officials confirmed on Sunday, June 1.
Casualties due to floods, landslides, and rain-related incidents have been reported from Assam (9), Arunachal Pradesh (8), and Mizoram (6).
In Assam’s capital Guwahati, a mudslide buried several homes, killing five people — including three members of a single family. The incident occurred as heavy rains pounded the city, weakening the slopes and prompting fresh warnings from local authorities. Floods claimed three more lives, including two in Golaghat and one in Lakhimpur.
Nearly 1,500 tourists were stranded in various parts of north Sikkim as the main road was blocked due to landslides triggered by incessant rains. One person was killed, two injured, and eight others went missing when a vehicle in which 11 tourists were travelling plunged into the Teesta river in Mangan district earlier this week.
