36 dead in landslides amid heavy rains: Northeast India devastated

Under the impact of Cyclone Remal normal life came to a grinding halt in the northeastern region with road and rail links affected, officials said. While 27 people were killed in Mizoram, including 21 in a quarry collapse in Aizawl district, four deaths were reported in Nagaland, three in Assam, and two in Meghalaya. The rains, accompanied by gusty winds, triggered landslides, uprooted trees and electric poles, and disrupted power and internet services.
