Severe floods and landslides triggered by relentless rainfall have wreaked havoc across Northeast India, claiming at least 30 lives and affecting over 60,000 people. In Assam, parts of National Highway 17, connecting Meghalaya and Assam, were washed away near Boko and Chaygaon, cutting off vital road access between Tura and Guwahati. A newly built section in the Shingra Reserve Forest collapsed under surging floodwaters. Arunachal Pradesh was also hit hard, with nine deaths, including seven in a single landslide. Assam alone reported five deaths. Red and orange weather alerts remain in effect as the region battles extreme weather. (PC: NDTV)
