<h1>Torrential rains cause five deaths, widespread damage and mass evacuations; authorities order rescue, relief and promised compensation</h1> Flooding from torrential rains in four districts caused five deaths (four from one family), extensive property and infrastructure damage, and the evacuation of 2,196 people to 43 relief camps; livestock losses and dozens of destroyed or partially damaged houses were reported. State authorities directed intensified rescue, relief and round-the-clock disaster monitoring, deployed SDRF, Home Guard and volunteers, and ordered provision of food, medical aid and essential supplies to isolated villages. Immediate financial assistance and prioritized rehabilitation were promised. The situation raises potential administrative liability issues regarding preparedness, infrastructure maintenance, emergency response adequacy and future compensation claims.
