The Story in Brief
Five Army personnel went missing after a flash flood washed away two shelters at the 5th Grenadier’s Pasu Pani camp in Dibang Valley, Arunachal Pradesh, on Friday evening, officials said. Two of seven personnel swept away were rescued. Search teams from the Army, ITBP, General Reserve Engineer Force, police, SDRF and local volunteers are working to find the missing personnel.
Separately, four people died after a landslide buried workers at the Keojaring-Byaching road construction site in Upper Subansiri district. The victims were identified as Tadu Baki, Taji Rai, Markosh Basumatari and Babul Ali. The body of Babul Ali has been recovered, while police, fire services and SDRF teams are continuing the search.

The phrase “rain fury” can make a disaster sound like an unavoidable act of nature, while careless claims about rescue failures would run ahead of the facts. The immediate record is more specific: two shelters were washed away, two Army personnel were rescued, and one of four civilian bodies was recovered. The key test now is whether authorities account for the missing five and complete the site search safely.
