All major rivers have surpassed danger levels, and 1,900 landslides have disrupted road connectivity. A red alert has been issued in two districts. The Chief Minister called the situation “unprecedented.” SDRF, NDRF, and paramilitary forces are conducting rescue and relief operations in affected areas, with 330 relief camps set up. NDTV
