Senapati, May 19 2022:
Landslides have disrupted the road connectivity between Oklong and its neighbouring villages in Senapati district.
According to reports culled from the spot, the PMGSY road which connects Oklong and its neighbouring villages was cut off as it was hit by multiple landslides and mudslides in the last few days.
It is reported that the roads from Senapati to Oklong, Oklong to Makuilongdi, Oklong to Kanem, Oklong to Rajaimei, Oklong to Kangjang and Oklong�Chakha which were all constructed under PMGSY in recent years have totally been cut off.
The villagers cleared the majority of the debris left behind by the landslides by hiring heavy vehicles but some portions along Senapati-Oklong road are beyond repair, said the report.
As per the locals, Oklong and its surrounding areas have also been witnessing power outage since the past few days while a road stretch between Kangjang and Chakha has been blocked by a big boulder.
