Tragic monsoon week: over 30 deaths through landslides and floods!

Guwahati, Indien - On June 1, 2025, the severe monsoon rainfalls in India's northeast reached tragic dimensions. According to the information from Al Jazera died, while floods and landslide were waved in several states. In Assam, where the effects were particularly strong, at least eight deaths were reported. Nine people died in Arunachal Pradesh, many of them as a result of landslides. In addition, three members of a family died at a landslide in Guwahati, the capital of Assam.

The rains that have been going on for three days not only led to tragic losses of human life, but also to considerable power outages in several parts of Guwahati. In order to ensure the security of the citizens, the authorities switched off the electricity in different areas. Schools and universities were also closed on Saturday to protect the students. In other states such as Mizoram and Meghalaya, further deaths have been confirmed, which increases the concern for the security and well -being of the population.

emergency measures and military support

In order to meet the disaster, the chief minister of Meghalaya, Conrad K Sangma, asked the emergency teams to vigilance, especially in land -at -landed and low areas. Meanwhile, the Indian army began a large -scale rescue operation in Manipur and evacuated hundreds of people from the endangered areas. The army made food, water and important medication available to the affected citizens.

The Indian weather authority has issued a red warning for several districts in the northeast, since the rivers, including the Brahmaputra, stepped over their banks and flooded large areas. The monsoons in India, which lasts from June to September, is crucial for agriculture, but can also have devastating effects that often end in the loss of human life. Every year, dozens of people die due to the floods and landslides who overwhelm the fragile infrastructure.

The influence of climate change

Scientists warn that climate change increasingly influences the weather conditions in South Asia. According to a study by the Max Planck Institute for History History and the University of Kiel, it can be seen that climate change changes the intensity of the monsoon rainfalls. Changes in the water cycle could affect agriculture and the livelihood of billions of people, and an analysis of sediment kernels indicates that more intensive monsoon accidents may be less likely, while drought. These developments cause scientists to continue to investigate the exact effects of climate change on the monsoon system.

The current monsoon period is particularly worrying, since in some regions, as in Mumbai, it occurred to the rainy season earlier, which has been the earliest arrival for almost 25 years. Last month, the city was hit by rain almost two weeks earlier than usual, which also draws public attention to the possible changes in the weather patterns. Experts attribute the increase in intensity and frequency of rain to global warming, which increases the challenges for the affected areas.
