A sudden landslide struck Kandhamala district on Sunday, leaving behind a massive 20‑foot‑deep crater at Dhepaguda village in Raikia block.
According to local reports, two children were playing on the roadside when the ground suddenly gave way. Fortunately, they escaped unharmed, though the incident has sparked alarm among residents.
The landslide has disrupted local connectivity and raised concerns about safety in the hilly terrain, especially during the monsoon season. Villagers have urged authorities to conduct immediate inspections and take preventive measures to avoid further mishaps.
Officials are expected to assess the site and determine whether heavy rainfall or soil erosion triggered the collapse.
