Itanagar, Sep 4
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has provided assistance, including food and drinking water, to around 60 tourists and local people, stranded due to heavy rain-triggered landslides near Jang town in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang district, officials said on Thursday.
A defence spokesman said that on Wednesday evening, intense rainfall triggered five landslides in the vicinity of Jang town in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang district, obstructing Jang bypass as well as the Balipara-Charduar-Tawang highway.
The slides blocked the traffic and led to the temporary stranding of tourists and local residents, who were travelling in around 25 vehicles.
