Massive Landslide Washes Away Highway in Arunachal Pradesh, Disrupting Road Connectivity with Dibang Valley
A massive landslide has occurred in Arunachal Pradesh, washing away a portion of the highway along the China border and disrupting road connectivity with the Dibang valley. The incident occurred on Thursday between Hunli and Anini on National Highway-33 due to heavy rainfall in the area.
Videos circulating on social media show a large stretch of the highway missing, making it impossible for vehicles to cross. The district borders China, and the landslide has raised concerns about the safety of the region.
Authorities have deployed teams to the site to clear the debris and restore road connectivity. However, it is unclear when the highway will be fully reopened.
The landslide is a reminder of the fragile nature of the Himalayan region, which is prone to natural disasters such as landslides, earthquakes, and floods. The incident underscores the importance of investing in infrastructure and disaster preparedness measures to mitigate the impact of such events.
