Heavy rainfall in Arunachal Pradesh triggers a flash flood in Dibang Valley and a separate landslide in Upper Subansiri, killing four people and leaving five Army personnel missing, officials report. The flooding washes away two Army shelters at an Army camp, while the landslide strikes a road construction site.
Across outlets, the incidents are linked to late-Friday heavy rain. In Dibang Valley, reports say the sudden rise of a stream inundates the area, and seven personnel are affected; two are rescued and five remain unaccounted for. In Upper Subansiri, a major landslide buries workers at the Keojaring–Byaching road construction area, with four deaths reported. Agencies involved in search and rescue include local police and multiple battalions and forces, with teams deployed to remote sites and bodies recovered where possible.
Outlets differ mainly in the level of operational detail and casualty wording—for example, whether those in the floodwater are described as Army personnel or include additional categories such as labourers in some reports—but all describe the same dual disaster: missing soldiers after a flash flood in Dibang Valley and fatalities after a landslide in Upper Subansiri.
