A massive landslide in India’s Arunachal Pradesh has created a serious emergency after collapsing debris completely blocked the Siji River, forming a natural dam. Authorities have warned that the blockage could lead to sudden flash floods if the accumulated water is released, posing a significant threat to downstream communities.
Following the incident, local authorities issued an urgent flash flood warning and advised residents living along the river to remain on high alert. Emergency officials have urged people to avoid low-lying areas, stay away from riverbanks, and closely follow official instructions as the situation continues to be monitored.
Experts are assessing the stability of the natural dam and the potential risk of flooding. Rescue and disaster management teams have also been placed on alert to respond quickly if the water barrier collapses or conditions worsen.
Officials have appealed to the public to stay informed through official updates and avoid spreading unverified information. Authorities continue to monitor the affected area as efforts remain focused on protecting nearby communities from any possible flash flood emergency.
