| Seven persons were killed in a landslip which occurred in the Ganesh Nagar locality of the city hills here during the early hours of Thursday.
The tragedy occurred when the family members of Govinda Deka and three of their guests were sleeping in a rented house which was buried in a landslip caused by heavy downpour overnight. Mr. Deka’s son survived as he was away in a relative’s place.
Sub-Divisional Officer C.K. Bhuyan said that the landslip was caused by rapid depletion of the green cover. Mr. Bhuyan also said that the district administration had been issuing warning through leaflets and announcements through the public address system cautioning the encroachers on the city hills against such landslips.
Troops of the 128 Battalion of the National Disaster Response Force, which rushed to the spot, recovered the bodies with the help of sniffer dogs.
