It may be mentioned that several people have lost their lives and lakhs of people have been affected across the northeast as flash floods, heavy rains, and landslides wreak havoc.
Continuous rainfall and landslides have resulted in parts of the northeast becoming isolated, with floodwaters submerging railway tracks. The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has suspended express, passenger and goods train services to south Assam, Tripura, Manipur, and Mizoram since Tuesday due to the inundation of railway tracks across the region.
