Cyclone Remal has left a trail of devastation in the state of Mizoram, with severe landslides and flooding reported across various regions. The calamity has claimed the lives of over ten people, while many remain trapped or missing in the wake of the destruction. Amid heavy rains, a stone quarry collapsed in Aizawl district, leading to the deaths of ten individuals and leaving several others trapped. A search operation is currently underway to rescue those trapped, but it is being severely hampered by continuous rainfall and further landslides in the area. The search operation is hampered by incessant rain and landslides in the area, officials stated. Two families whose houses were swept away due to the quarry collapse are yet to be found. Another house, inhabited by non-locals, was also washed away, with three bodies recovered so far. In Salem Veng, a family of three, including a pregnant woman due to deliver in June, is feared dead after their house was washed away. In a grim turn of events, a graveyard in the Kanan locality of Aizawl was hit by a landslide, causing coffins to spill out and grave monuments to slide into the mud. This has added an eerie and tragic dimension to the disaster as volunteers from various localities and members of the Young Mizo Association work tirelessly to recover bodies, carry coffins, and clear blockades. In ITI locality in Aizawl at least 150 graveyards were destroyed due to a landslide. The situation remains dire, with at least 30 houses near the Tlawng River in Sairang relocated due to flooding. The full extent of the disaster is still unclear, with many deaths and the number of houses washed away yet to be fully ascertained. As a precautionary measure, all schools and government offices have been closed. Chief Minister of Mizoram, Lalduhoma, has announced that those affected by Cyclone Remal will receive relief assistance amounting to Rs 15 crore. Additionally, relatives of the deceased will receive an ex-gratia of Rs 4 lakhs.
