Body Recovered After Rupnagar Landslide in Guwahati as Five Nearby Families Are Evacuated

Rescuers toiled for hours on a steep, hard-to-reach slope to retrieve the victim’s body.

Overview

  • Authorities identified the victim as 40-year-old Rima Deka Das.
  • A massive rock with mud and trees struck the home around 11:30 am while she was bathing, crushing the structure.
  • Her husband and son escaped without injuries as the house on the Bhangagarh hillside collapsed.
  • SDRF, NDRF, Fire and Emergency Services, and Assam Police carried out a manual operation because heavy equipment could not access the site.
  • The District Disaster Management Authority ordered five neighboring families to vacate in the landslide‑prone area, where the family had been living on eksonia land.
