The injured were initially taken to the Assam Rifles camp at Aina where they received first-aid.

At least 4 ambulances were dispatched to take them to District Hospital Churachandpur for further treatment. Bolero pick-ups are modified to transport passengers and goods to the interior areas.

They also often halt a night on the way due to exhaustive nature of travel and for safety.

The vehicle that was washed away by the mudslide today started the journey yesterday from Sipuikawn village, located about 241 kms from Churachandpur hqtrs.

About mid-way at Leijangphai (120 Kms) they halted the night and resumed their journey early today.

After travelling for about 22 kms today the journey was halted by a falling tree.

As was the norm, the driver and his helper identified as Lalngaituo and Lalrosiem disembarked from the vehicle and cleared the road.

As they again embarked and ignited the vehicle to resume their journey, the land above them crumbled and slid, sweeping the vehicle and all those on-board hundreds of feet below the road, it added.
