One person died, and another was injured as a wall collapsed at Thuampui in Mizoram’s Aizawl on Friday after incessant rains during the past 24 hours. Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Manipur are lashed with incessant rains.
Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that due to heavy rainfall over Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh, large areas have been affected. “ On Saturday government employees of Kamrup and Kamrup (Metro) are being given special casual leave. Schools and colleges will remain shut."
Normal life in most of the northeastern states was badly affected since Thursday due to intermittent light to moderate rain triggered by a depression in the Bay of Bengal
In Mizoram the wall collapse caused the death of Lalnunmawia while Lalfakzuala was injured and is under medical treatment.
Another official said that schools in Aizawl district remained closed for the second consecutive day on Friday as incessant rain lashed the mountainous state, triggering landslides in different parts of the state.
The India Meteorological Department ( IMD) had forecast heavy to extremely heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds from May 29 to June 1 in all the northeastern states.
Incessant rain since Thursday caused waterlogging in Assam’s main city of Guwahati for the second consecutive day on Friday.
Officials said that major parts of the Guwahati-Shillong Road, one of the vital roads in the city, remained waterlogged, triggering heavy traffic congestion in most parts of the commercial city.
The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), in a statement, said that the IMD has predicted inclement weather over Assam with the likelihood of heavy to extremely heavy rainfall expected across western and southern parts of the state in the next 2-3 days.
In light of the inclement weather and forecast of heavy to very heavy rains, the Guwahati airport authority advised all the passengers to check their flight status with their respective airlines and leave for the airport a little earlier.
The Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA) has informed that in the coming days, the state would see heavy rainfall in nearly every district until June 5, with isolated thunderstorms and lightning.
