Landslides Snap Road Links To Several Arunachal Pradesh Districts

Continuous landslides have blocked a portion of the Akajan-Likabali-Aalo road at Siji in Lower Siang district.

Landslides triggered by incessant rains in the past couple of days have snapped road links to several Arunachal Pradesh districts.

Continuous landslides have blocked a portion of the Akajan-Likabali-Aalo road at Siji in Lower Siang district. Several vehicles have remained stranded for the past couple of days, a district official said today.

Though the MSV International Inc, the company constructing the Trans Arunachal Highway (TAH) portion of the road (package I&II), has deployed men and machinery to clear the blockade, continuous rain has hampered restoration work as landslides continued to occur, Lower Siang DC Marto Riba said.
