Dramatic footage captured this morning shows the terrifying moment a water tank tower collapsed into the swollen Buridihing River amid relentless rainfall in Kharsang, Arunachal Pradesh. The incident occurred near the Balinong Industrial Training Institute (ITI), where severe flooding has wreaked havoc on local infrastructure.

The river, swollen by days of unrelenting rainfall across Assam and the northeastern region, eroded its banks and completely washed away the boys' hostel of the ITI—the only residential facility for students from Changlang, Longding, and Tirap districts.

The video shows the tower collapsing within seconds, underscoring the destructive force of the floodwaters. While no casualties have been reported, several students lost their belongings and academic materials in the hostel destruction, prompting widespread panic among families.

Rescue and relief operations are underway, with the Changlang District Administration declaring a high alert. Authorities are monitoring water levels closely and working with disaster response teams to provide temporary shelter and aid to the affected students.

This incident highlights the escalating impact of extreme weather events in the region and the urgent need for stronger flood resilience measures.
