Almost all the states of the Northeast including West Bengal have been affected due to cyclone Remal. Many areas of these states were submerged due to heavy rains. Roads were washed away due to the rising waters of rivers, due to which normal life is being greatly affected. More than 2,140 trees were uprooted and about 1,700 electricity poles also fell due to the effect of Cyclone Remal in West Bengal. Due to heavy rains on Tuesday, the road connecting Haflong-Silchar in the Dima Hasao district of Assam was washed away. At present, the Haflong-Silchar connecting road has been closed until June 1.

Many people went missing due to landslides. 25 personnel from the 3rd MAP, 22 personnel from the 1st MAP, and 10 personnel from the 5th IR Battalion have been deployed at the site for rescue operations.

 

Landslides in several areas have caused the collapse of several houses and labor camps, leaving at least 22 people buried under the debris. However, there has been no rainfall since this morning.
