Relentless heavy rains have unleashed widespread devastation across several northeastern states, causing severe floods and landslides that have claimed over 30 lives and impacted more than 5.5 lakh people.

Assam remains the hardest hit, with 11 reported deaths. Other affected states include Arunachal Pradesh with 10 fatalities, Meghalaya with six, Mizoram with five, Sikkim with three, and Tripura with one.

In response to the crisis, Union Minister and BJP president JP Nadda on Monday called on all party units and workers to extend all necessary support in line with official guidelines.
