Using spades and shovels, the Kanankhu villagers engaged in cleaning the knee deep thick layers of mud and silt from the residential houses of flood victims, roads, Community Health Centre and School along with other villagers of the surrounding villages.

Briefing the media persons, the ADC Member said that Chakpikarong Sub-Divisional Headquarters is one of the severely affected areas by the recent overflowed water from the Chakpi river.

Apart from washing away several houses and disconnecting the bridge, the flood deposited thick layer of silt, timbers and logs all over the surface in and around Chakpikarong, he added.

Ts Willingson further maintained that after considering the hardship faced by the flood victims of the area, Kanankhu villagers donated some cash as a relief assistance besides extending help in cleaning the area for their rehabilitation.

Fuel for the JCB Excavators was provided by St Nunghlung Victor, MLA 41-Chandel A/C and Robert Singh Kshetrimayum, DC Chandel.
