PWD Assistant Engineer B Tadar said a large stretch of the Papu-Itanagar road via Jullang has been damaged.

A culvert near Nyishi Elite Society (NES) secretariat at Richi was completely washed away for which the road has been closed.

State BJP president B R Wahge who is also an MLA, Itanagar MLA Techi Kaso, PWD capital division-B Executive Engineer Tarh Gongkap along with locals visited the spot to take stock of the situation on Thursday morning.

A report from East Siang district said the landslides and flash floods have left a trail of destruction in the district.

The washing away of a 30-feet approach road to a bridge over the Sile river has affected road communication on the Mirem Mikong-Ruksin road under Ruksin sub-division.

Two persons who got trapped in the Sibo Korong river near Pasighat were rescued by police along with a team of fire and emergency services under the supervision of East Siang Superintendent of Police on Thursday, the report said.

Several pockets of Pasighat, the district headquarters of East Siang, are facing a flood-like situation with low-lying areas getting inundated.

The Siang river and all its tributaries are flowing above the danger mark at some points for which the district administration has issued advisories asking people not to venture into the rivers.

According to an information received from Lohit and Namsai districts, all the major rivers and their tributaries are in spate.

Likewise, Beal said living in the bubble will hardly be “a walk in the park.”

“We can't just leave. We can't just order whatever food we want. We can't just do activities we want to do. We can't go to our teammates' rooms,” Beal said.

“You're restricted, and you can't do the things that you're normally used to doing.”

The Pelicans' mental health and wellness program is led by team psychologist Jenna Rosen, and New Orleans general manager David Griffin calls it “critical.”

“Let's not kid ourselves. This quarantine situation is going to be very difficult,” Griffin said. “We will work through mindfulness training with Jenna literally every day. ... It's going to be about who can keep themselves in the best frame of mind, quite frankly.”

Mental health has been a priority for the NBA and the NBPA, especially after players like Cleveland's Kevin Love and San Antonio's DeMar DeRozan opened up about their inner struggles.

DeRozan knows it won't be easy at Disney.

“It's tough,” he said. “You're taking guys who've been with their families every single day for the last few months and all of a sudden separating everybody into this one confined space and taking away a lot of joyful things that we do outside of basketball.”

Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has played for Greece's national team, said being away for three weeks during international tournaments was challenging. This trip to Disney could last three months if the Bucks make the NBA Finals.

“Not being able to see your family, being there for three months, playing games with no fans, it's going to be mental,” Antetokounmpo said.

“You've got to push yourself through this.” Daniel Medina, the Wizards' chief of athletic care and performance, said some players are concerned that an interrupted season might make them more prone to injury, which could be career-altering to players with expiring contracts. Some have decided not to play, notably Indiana's Victor Oladipo.

Parham, who helped launch the NBPA's mental health program in 2018, expects many players to handle the resumption well. He noted that after three months of relative isolation at home, they'll be eager to satisfy their appetite for competition.

Still, the unprecedented nature of the bubble, born out of a pandemic blamed for about a half-million deaths worldwide, will present challenges. Another issue, Parham said, is how the restart coincides with the political and social upheaval spawned by the death of George Floyd, a Black man, while in police custody.

“Prior to COVID, and prior to these social justice demonstrations, there were sufficient daily distractions for people to not really even think about their stuff. They were just sort of on automatic pilot,” Parham said. “You know what they say: A person will never see their reflection in running water. It is only when the water is still that their reflected image begins to emerge.” (AP)
