Ukhrul, August 03 2015:
A slab culvert built over Chikong stream was, on July 30, washed away by strong current disconnecting L Leihaoram village under Kasam Khullen sub-division from other parts of the State.
A statement issued by L Leihaoram village authority has appealed to the MLA of Phungyar A/C for immediate construction of a new culvert at the area to restore connectivity.
Villagers at present have built a temporary bamboo bridge for transportation.
Moreover, more than 80 hectares of paddy field have been submerged as Sanathong river overflowed due to incessant rain in the State.
The village authority has also appealed the State Government to aid the flood hit villagers of Leihaoram at the earliest.
