The deceased have been identified as Nagen Rajbongshi, Meena Rajbongshi and Chunu Rajbongshi. The daughter of the family was also among those killed in the incident.

The family’s son was trapped beneath the debris but was rescued alive.

The incident occurred amid continuous heavy rainfall in Guwahati, which has raised the risk of landslides in vulnerable areas. Rescue personnel and local authorities responded to the incident and undertook efforts to clear the debris and assist those affected.

Continuous rainfall since the early hours of Tuesday has triggered severe artificial flooding in several parts of Guwahati, disrupting normal life and affecting commuters.
