Four Workers Killed, Three Injured After Rain-Triggered Landslide in Itanagar

Police blame continuous heavy rain for the wall failure.

Overview

  • Seven labourers were buried under mud and debris, and rescue teams recovered all of them from the site.
  • Doctors confirmed four fatalities, while three injured workers are undergoing treatment in hospital.
  • The deceased were identified as Choki Tasar, Ratan Barman, Godak Raja, and Godak Tabin.
