Arunachal Landslide: Highway Along China Border Destroyed by Massive Landslide.

The Dibang valley landslide has resulted in heavy damage to a stretch of the National Highway-313 between Hunli and Anini due to heavy rainfall. This has caused inconveniences for commuters and posed difficulties for locals and security forces who rely on the highway for transportation.

The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) has mobilized resources to repair the damaged stretches of the highway. Chief Minister Pema Khandu has expressed concern over the inconvenience caused and has instructed authorities to restore connectivity at the earliest, as this road connects Dibang Valley to the rest of the country.

The district administration has issued advisories urging people to stay away from landslide zones and water bodies, and to avoid traveling at night and cutting earth during the monsoon season. They have also stated that the restoration of the highway is anticipated to take at least three days.

Despite the damage, there is currently no scarcity of food and essential items in the area. Videos of the landslide show a significant portion of the highway missing, making it impossible for vehicles to cross to the other side.

Efforts are underway to restore the highway, which is crucial for the connectivity of Dibang Valley with the rest of the country.
