travel advisory against arunachal pradesh

Over 200 tourists were stranded today in Arunachal Pradesh as landslides triggered by torrential rains and flash floods disrupted surface communication at several points through Balipara-Tawang road, the lifeline of the western part of the state.

The Buddhist town of Tawang on the Sino-Indian border and Bomdila in West Kameng district remained cut off following massive landslides at several points.

According to reports from Tawang district administration, massive landslides at Munna Camp and Nine Mile area here brought surface communication to a grinding halt. Over hundred vehicles carrying more than 700 people, including 200 tourists were stranded.

Gacham river in West Kameng district is flowing above the danger level. The micro hydel project at Nuranang is also affected as all its tunnels are clogged by the mud coming with flood water.

So is the case with Dirang hydel project in the district. The upstream of the Tawang Chu river is flowing above danger mark and already three to four log bridges have been washed away by the gushing water.
