Itanagar, April 2: Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh, which is located close to the Indo-China border, got cut off from the rest of the world on Wednesday following a massive landslide in the Mompani area of the district.

Officials said around 10 meters of the road, which is the lifeline for not only the people of Anjaw district but also for the security forces guarding the LAC, was completely washed away due to heavy rains which had continued for the last few days.

Due to the disruption in the road communication network, the movement of army convoys towards places like Walong, Kibithu, etc., which are close to the Indo-China border, has come to a halt.

Officials added that the restoration work might take some time since the administration will have to acquire additional land for the purpose.

It might be mentioned that Millo Kojin, the Deputy Commissioner of Anjaw district, had on Tuesday issued a traffic advisory for commuters after receiving information related to the deteriorating condition of the highway from the NHIDCL authorities.
