Cyclone Remal Devastation in Northeastern India

Heavy rains and thunderstorms brought by Cyclone Remal have caused significant damage in northeastern India, particularly in Mizoram. The cyclone resulted in at least 37 deaths across the region, with several people still missing. Many homes were destroyed, power lines were knocked down, and hundreds of individuals were forced to seek shelter in relief camps.

Impact on Mizoram

Mizoram bore the brunt of the devastation caused by Cyclone Remal. The cyclone claimed the lives of 27 people in various areas of Mizoram’s capital Aizwal, including Melthum, Hlimen, Falkawn, and Salem Veng. Rescue operations are ongoing, with the death toll expected to rise as more bodies are recovered.

The State Government of Mizoram has allocated a State Disaster Relief Fund (SDRF) of ₹15 crore and ₹4 lakh as ex gratia for the deceased. Chief Minister Lalduhoma announced these measures to support those affected by the cyclone.

Impact on Assam and Nagaland

In Assam, four individuals lost their lives and 18 others were injured due to heavy rainfall and strong winds. Tragically, a tree fell on a school bus in Sonitpur district, injuring 12 children who were subsequently hospitalized.

In Nagaland, four fatalities were reported, with over 40 houses damaged. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) deployed an underwater drone to aid in search and rescue efforts following the cyclone’s impact.

Impact on Meghalaya

Heavy rain in Meghalaya following Cyclone Remal led to two fatalities and over 500 injuries. The aftermath of the cyclone has left a trail of destruction in the region, requiring significant relief and recovery efforts.

Cyclone Remal Ravages Bangladesh

Cyclone Remal also wreaked havoc on the coasts of Bangladesh, resulting in the loss of at least 10 lives and leaving millions without power. The cyclone weakened into a cyclonic storm after making landfall, causing widespread destruction.

Government sources reported that nearly 30,000 houses were destroyed by Cyclone Remal in Bangladesh. Over 200,000 individuals have been relocated to safe shelters, with tens of thousands currently seeking refuge in these shelters.
