Manipur & parts of Nagaland cut off from mainland
The Telegraph | Kohima, Aug. 14:
A massive landslide at Chumukedima near Dimapur yesterday has kept Manipur and parts of Nagaland cut off for the second consecutive day today. The landslide has blocked National Highway 39, the lifeline for Manipur and parts of Nagaland.
Hundreds of trucks carrying essential commodities are stranded at Chumukedima since yesterday morning despite the fact that the Border Roads Organisations (BRO) and Nagaland government were trying to clear the debris on a war footing.
Triggered by incessant rains, which have been lashing Nagaland for the past couple of weeks, the landslide has affected Kohima, Wokha, Phek and Kiphire districts in Nagaland as hundreds of trucks carrying essential commodities to these districts from Dimapur are stranded. But authorities have diverted light vehicles through other routes like Dimapur-Jalukie-Medziphema-Kohima and Dimapur-Niuland-10th mile-Kohima.
