GUWAHATI |  Three members of a family were killed and another injured after a landslide buried their house in Guwahati’s Mathgharia area early Tuesday, police said. The incident occurred when the family was asleep and a portion of the hillside gave way, causing debris to crash into and bury the house.

A couple and their daughter died in the landslide. Their bodies were recovered and sent for post-mortem examination, police said. The couple’s son survived the incident but sustained injuries. He was rescued and admitted to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, where he is undergoing treatment.

Authorities have been monitoring the situation in the area following the incident. Mathgharia and several other parts of Guwahati remain vulnerable to landslides during the monsoon, particularly after periods of heavy rainfall. Further details on the condition of the injured person and the extent of damage were awaited.
