Imphal, September 22 2022:
A landslide that brought down 50-60 metres of the hill slope occurred on Thursday around 1:30 pm at near Nongdalan along NH-37 under Kangpokpi district and about 39 km from Imphal.
The landslide was triggered by heavy rainfall in the area and as a result of which many vehicles including loaded trucks were stranded on both sides of the highway.
However, light private and passenger carriers coming from Imphal side as well as Nonev were diverted towards the Bishnupur-Tupul Road.
Three excavators of road a construction company are being pressed into service for clearance of debris but due to continuous sliding of loose soils from the steep mountain, the clearance work has been disrupted intermittently.
