Father, son buried alive in landslide



ITANAGAR: A father and son duo was buried alive when a massive landslide crushed their house near the circuit house of Daporijo in Upper Subansiri district on Wednesday evening.
While the father died on the spot, the son succumbed to his injuries on his way to hospital, official sources said on Thursday.


District police, including ITBP, and locals started a rescue operation soon after but it took them nearly two hours to dig out the victims, the sources said.
Bagang Abu Youth Welfare Society, a Daporijo-based NGO, has demanded compensation for the victims' family.
