Imphal, June 28 2015 :
A massive landslide which occurred due to a heavy downpour between Nungdolan and Sinam village has totally cut off National Highway-39 today.
A huge number of goods laden and empty trucks and other vehicles are stranded on either sides of the highway.
It is said that water was flowing over the road due to clogging of a culvert due to which a large portion of the highway sunk suddenly today.
According RP Gupta, Second-in-Command of 83 RCC BRTF, maintenance work of the portion could not be done on time due to bandhs and blockades.
He said that restoration works would begin from tomorrow.
As it is not safe for any vehicle to pass the portion, no vehicle would be allowed to proceed further, he added.
