Imphal, July 10 2017:
Singngat MLA GS Haupu visited the flood hit plains of Sangngaikot area today and simultaneously cleared the Chura-Sugnu road which has been cut-off by landslide at two locations .
The MLA and his team headed for the area to examine the flood situation there and study the extent of damage it has caused to human habitation and standing crops.
They were however surprised by landslides that completely cut off the road at two locations necessitating the MLA to utilise the services of two earth diggers to clear the road .
Affected villagers told the visiting MLA to compensate their losses and resue them from an impending famine with the entire crops on the small pocket of plain where they farm inundated with flood water .
At least two bridges that connect the Chura-Sugnu road to several villages have been washed away as well.
Villagers of Luihoimolcham and its adjoining villages have managed to erect a temporary bridge to save their lifeline but it is too weak to handle loads beyond human.
