The Centre on Wednesday assured Arunachal Pradesh of full support for relief, rehabilitation and long-term flood mitigation as the death toll from flash floods and landslides rose to four.
Flash floods triggered by heavy rainfall have caused widespread destruction across Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, damaging homes, roads, and public infrastructure. In Assam's Dhemaji district, a major portion of a railway bridge built in 1965 collapsed, forcing the indefinite suspension of train services between Archipathar and Simen Chapari stations.
