Massive rockslides occurred near the Tippi waterfall on Monday morning, blocking the Balipara-Chariduar-Tawang (BCT) highway in Bhalukpong, West Kameng district. The administration has redirected vehicles from Itanagar and Tezpur to West Kameng via the Orang-Kalaktang-Shergaon-Rupa-Tenga route.
Local people believe that early road clearance is not likely, despite the deployment of BRO troops and machinery.
On Monday morning, residents helped several trapped commuters cross the road.
