The dead include four from the ITBP, two of their family members, and 12 junior officers from the BRO. Other victims were casual labourers. Most of the casualties were reported from Rangma range. Landslides were caused by heavy rains since September 19. About nine landslides occurred blocking the main road between Chungthang and Mangan in the district. Army and IAF personnel have started rescue operations in full swing. Several landslides blocked main roads between Chungthang and Pegong. Houses between Rangma and Chungthang were washed away in flash floods along Lachen river.
