Arunachal Pradesh: 3 Dead, 1 Trapped After Massive Landslide Hits Road-Cutting Site In Upper Subansiri · republicworld.com

In a faraway part of India called Arunachal Pradesh, the ground suddenly slid down a hill.

A big landslide hit a place where workers were building a road.

Sadly, three workers lost their lives at that spot.

Another worker is still stuck under the mud and rocks, and rescuers are trying to find him.

One more worker was hurt and is getting help at a hospital.

Heavy rain and slippery ground are making the rescue very difficult.

The landslide also blocked the road, so people living nearby are very worried.

Local people have asked for more helpers and better equipment.

The officials say the rescuers will try even harder on Saturday morning.

Everyone hopes the missing worker will be found safe soon.
