ITANAGAR
: One Indo-Tibetian Border Police (
ITBP) jawan, who was among the critically injured personnel after a boulder hit their vehicle near Likabali on Friday, succumbed to his injures at Aditya Hospital in
Assam's
Dibrugarh district
on Saturday, taking the death toll in the mishap to five.
Lower Siang SP Singjatla Singpho said the jawan who died on Saturday was among the two critically injured personnel who were taken to
Dibrugarh
last night.
Four ITBP personnel had been crushed to death and eight others left injured in the mishap at Basar-Ajajan road, five kilometres away from Likabali, which is the headquarters of the Lower Siang district in
Arunachal Pradesh
. The incident occurred at 2.30pm Friday when a big boulder came rolling down the mountain slope and smashed the ITBP bus with 20 personnel on board. Some of the seriously injured personnel have been shifted to the Army Hospital at Likabali while the others are being treated at the Community Health Centre at Likabali.
This is the second landslide-related incident in the state within a span of five days. Earlier on June 24, five labourers had been buried alive when the wall of an under-construction RCC building collapsed over a labour barrack in Itanagar.
