Chandel, August 10 2015:
Natural Disaster Relief Committee of Kuki Area (NDRC KA), Chandel district has been engaged in distributing and stationing relief materials to flood-affected villagers of the area for the past few days, reports our correspondent.
Speaking to media persons, Robert Gangte, secretary of NDRC KA, Chandel said despite multiple landslides along the roads, relief materials handed over to the committee by the District Administration, organisations and individuals have been successfully distributed to the affected villagers.

The secretary further maintained that apart from providing essential commodities to Joumol villagers, the relief committee distributed relief materials to flood affected villagers of Gunpi area and Kana area in the first phase of distribution.
In the second phase, relief materials were dispatched from Tolbung for Hengshi, Tuyang and Hollenjang area; from Gokemdo for Maokot and P Chehjang area and from Joupi for Tm Dingpi areas, he said.
Expressing gratitude to all donors who generously donated cash and other relief materials, the secretary also thanked the staff and managing board of Greenland Hospital and Research Centre, Khopijang New Molbem for organizing a free medical camp for the flood affected villagers at Lonpi Khunou and displaced Joumol villagers at Utangpokpi village.
