Two Brothers Die in Nagaland Landslide Amid Harsh Monsoon
The incident in Mokokchung town also left their mother injured, as the state experiences a severe monsoon season with multiple landslides and flash floods.
Two brothers were killed and their mother sustained injuries following a landslide in Mokokchung town, Nagaland. The incident, which claimed the lives of the two siblings, occurred amidst a period of severe monsoon weather that has significantly impacted the northeastern Indian state.
The tragedy unfolds as Nagaland grapples with a harsh monsoon season, characterised by numerous landslides and flash floods reported across various districts. The relentless rainfall has led to unstable ground conditions, contributing to such natural disasters in the hilly terrain of the state.
Following the fatal landslide, a prayer service was conducted for the deceased brothers later the same day. Subsequently, their mortal remains were transported from Mokokchung to their ancestral home in Alisopur village, located in the Kiphire district of Nagaland. The community mourned the loss as the region continues to face the challenges posed by the ongoing monsoon.
