Rain-induced landslips killed four people in Guwahati early on Tuesday morning.
The four, all construction workers staying in a rented accommodation, were buried alive in their sleep. Incessant rainfall delayed the recovery of their bodies from under the debris.
According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), incessant rainfall since Monday evening caused landslips in at least five areas of Guwahati. The authority had identified 366 landslip-prone areas across 19 hills that the city has sprung around.
