Flash Floods in Manipur Damage Farmland and Weaken Key Bridge in Ukhrul District
Heavy rainfall in Manipur's hill districts of Senapati, Ukhrul, and Kamjong has caused flash floods and landslides, damaging farmland, roads, and bridges. The Ngaorei (Laini) River overflowed, submerging 80,000 to 90,000 tins of paddy fields in Laii village and damaging fish ponds and terraced farms, affecting over 100 families. Floodwaters weakened the only bridge connecting Laii and Kharasom villages, disrupting transport and access to essential services. Residents have urged the government for damage assessment, compensation, and infrastructure repairs.
