Imphal, May 22 2016:
Troops of Maram Battalion under the aegis of
Senapati Brigade under Red Shield Division cleared a major land-
slide on NH-129A near New Magaimai village.
Reports were received in the early hours on May 21 re-
garding blocking of NH-129A due to a landslide which
occurred due to heavy rains, said a statement issued by PIB
(DW).
The road was broken, filled with lots of mud and heavy
boulders, thereby effectively blocking traffic, resulting in lots
of hardship for the locals and commuters.
The soldiers without wasting time, moved to the landslide
area and with the assistance of the villagers cleared the road
which facilitated the move of civil transients, added the state-
ment.
