Cyclone Remal: SDRF Reaches Imphal To Rescue People

Continuous heavy rain since Sunday due to cyclone Remal has led to extensive flooding in Manipur. Water levels in many rivers flowing through Imphal city are rising quickly, with two major rivers, Nambul and Imphal, already spilling over into various areas of Imphal’s East and West districts.

The initial instance of river flooding occurred in the Khurai region of Imphal East district, where the river surged beyond its banks. Collaboration between residents and the government mitigated the damage along the eastern bank of the Imphal River, and ongoing endeavors aim to control the river’s overflow on the western side in Khurai.

Chief Minister N Biren Singh conducted an inspection of the flooded Khurai area on Tuesday night. Teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), along with residents, are currently engaged in evacuating people from the affected regions, as directed by the state government.
