Imphal: Relentless rain triggered multiple landslides in Manipur’s Noney district. The debris blocked the Imphal-Jiribam stretch of National Highway 37. Traffic stopped cold. The slide hit hard between Awangkhul/Luangchum Part-I and Awangkhul/Luangchum Part-II villages.
This route is a vital link for essential supplies and commuters. The storm pushed river levels across the district past the danger mark. Authorities fear flooding will follow if the rain continues. Officials are watching vulnerable zones closely to assess the mounting damage.
Residents are hunkered down indoors to stay safe. Officials issued a clear warning to the public: "avoid travelling through landslide-prone areas until conditions improve." The Noney district remains highly vulnerable to monsoon disasters. NH-37 frequently faces these closures every rainy season.
