A massive landslide triggered by heavy rainfall has damaged the crucial highway linking Arunachal Pradesh's Dibang Valley district to the rest of India. The stretch between Hunli and Anini on National Highway-33 has been particularly affected.

In a temporary relief for local communities and conservationists, the Forestry Advisory Committee (FAC) has scrapped a proposal to establish the Etalin hydroelectric project in Arunachal Pradesh's Dibang Valley.
