Natural Disaster Relief Committee of Kuki Area (NDRC-KA) Chandel District dispatched and distributed relief materials to the villagers affected by the recent natural calamities since the past few days.
Speaking to media persons, NDRC-KA Secretary Robert Gangte said that despite multiple landslides along the roads, relief materials handed over to the committee by the district administration as well as the donations by generous individuals and organizations were distributed by the committee to the affected villagers.

In the second phase, relief materials were also dispatched at Tolbung for Hengshi, Tuyang and Hollenjang area, at Gokemdo for Maokot and P Chehjang area and at Joupi for Tm Dingpi areas, he added.
Robert further informed that a team of relief committee accompanied with SDO Khengjoi Memi Mary went to Tolbung for distribution of relief materials for Twitung and Sehlon areas on Monday.
He also thanked the staff and managing board of Greenland Hospital and Research Centre, Khopijang New Molbem for organizing free medical camp for flood affected villagers at Lonpi Khunou and displaced Joumol villagers at Utangpokpi village.
