1,000 evacuated as heavy rains trigger flood in Mizoram
Around 1,000 people were evacuated from Mizoram's Lunglei and Aizawl districts on Tuesday after monsoon rains triggered a flood in the state. All schools in the state will remain closed on Wednesday as over 180 houses were submerged during the flood. Landslides triggered by the flood blocked several roads and left the affected areas inaccessible.
