Imphal, May 13:
Stating that the Manipur State Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster Authority for Tamenglong district have been constituted under the provisions of the Disaster Management Act 2005 enacted the Government of India, the Nungba Citizens' Council (NCC) has urged upon the State Government to open a Relief and Disaster Management Centre at Nungba or Noney in Tamenglong district to tackle and minimise the impacts of natural calamities like pest attack, land slide, fire, flood, hailstorm, bamboo flowering and crop damage by rodents etc.
A press release issued by the NCC further appealed to the Health Department to establish an accident and emergency (trauma) centre in Tamenglong district, preferably at Noney or Nungba along NH 53 in view of the frequent road mishaps taking place along the highway.
