Floods and landslides have claimed 25 lives across three north-eastern States so far, with Assam being the worst hit.
According to data provided by the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) late on Friday, four people, including two children, drowned. The toll due to the disaster has now gone up to nine. Five others had died in a series of landslides since May 14.
On Friday, the body of a woman was retrieved from a landslide zone in Arunachal Pradesh capital Itanagar. She was the eighth victim of several cases of landslips reported across the town, prompting Chief Minister Pema Khandu to ask people to shift from the vulnerable areas.
