During the monsoon season, this is a major source of concern for villagers throughout in the district.

Erosion and landslides in many parts of the districts hampered communication links to Shi-Yomi, West Siang, Leparada and Siang districts.

The Aalo-Likabali and Aalo-Pangin roads are already blocked and the Rumgong-Boleng-Mariyang via Pasighat road which is the only alternative, is also reportedly blocked.

The TAH construction agency would have to clear the block points to ensure continued transportation of essential commodities to the district.
