Guwahati, June 5: Mizoram has reported 675 landslides, mudslides, and landslips due to incessant rainfall over the past several days, according to the state’s disaster management and rehabilitation department.
The northeastern state has witnessed massive landslides, leading to the closure of most roads. Champhai district, located on the eastern border with Myanmar, is the worst affected, recording 210 landslides and damage to 10 houses.
Across Northeast, 46 people have died. The fatalities were primarily due to drowning, landslides, waterlogging, and other rain-related calamities. Assam recorded the highest number of deaths at 19, followed by Arunachal Pradesh with 12, Meghalaya with 6, Mizoram with 5, Tripura with 2, and one each in Nagaland and Manipur.
As many as 269 houses have either collapsed or sustained serious damage across the state’s 11 districts.
Schools in Mizoram reopened after a four-day closure. Officials reported 31 fresh landslides in the last 24 hours, with no casualties reported.
The All-India Congress Committee (AICC) has urged the Centre to provide relief to those affected by floods and landslides triggered by heavy rain in Mizoram.
A statement issued by the party said the Mizoram unit of Congress has informed that people of the state have been suffering due to landslides, floods and other calamities.
“In this time of disaster, we demand that the Government of India awaken its conscience, and provide immediate support and relief to the people of Mizoram,” it said.
Incessant rain over the past several days has affected low-lying areas across the northeastern states. Assam and Manipur’s Imphal Valley continue to reel under floods.
The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) reported that two persons, including a minor, died on Wednesday (June 4, 2025). Floods have affected more than 6.79 lakh people—46,309 more than the previous day—and damaged crops on 14,977.99 hectares across 21 districts.
Southern Assam’s Barak Valley, comprising the districts of Cachar, Hailakandi, and Sribhumi, remains the worst affected, accounting for 74% of the people impacted.
According to the ASDMA bulletin, more than 1.53 lakh people have taken shelter across 405 relief camps and distribution centres.
In Manipur, the flood situation remains critical, with several rivers surpassing danger levels across the Imphal Valley. However, as of June 4, the water levels of the Imphal and Iril Rivers have significantly receded, now flowing below the warning level, bringing much-needed relief to residents.
