Due to the influence of the southwest monsoon, the Northeastern States are experiencing continuous heavy rainfall. States like Sikkim, Assam, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Meghalaya have been hit by relentless downpours, leading to widespread landslides. Around 34 people have died in rain-related incidents across these states. In Mizoram alone, five people lost their lives over the past ten days—three in Champhai district, and one each in Aizawl and Serchhip districts—due to landslides and sudden floods causing houses and walls to collapse.

Disaster Management officials reported that landslides occurred at 552 locations across Mizoram. A total of 152 houses were damaged, and 198 families had to evacuate their homes due to cracks and instability caused by the landslides. Champhai district, which borders Myanmar, was the worst affected, with 209 landslides, nine houses damaged, and 14 families evacuated.
