Churachandpur; Prakhar Pandey (IPS), Superintendent of Police, Churachandpur; Seiminthang Lenthang, ADC Churachandpur and Th Mangminthang Gangte, SDO Henglep.

As part of the relief efforts, the team distributed over 200 bags of rice to villages stranded due to multiple landslides in the region in collaboration with the Henglep Sub-Division Chiefs' Association.

The primary objective of the visit was to evaluate the extent of the damage and festtrack the restoration process to enable the early resumption of vehicular movement along this crucial route.

The team interacted with the chiefs, villagers and field workers from NHIDCL and BIPL, and instructed all agencies concerned to coordinate effectively to ensure the timely and safe clearance of debris.

Placing utmost importance on public safety and uninterrupted connectivity, the District Administration reaffirmed its commitment to restoring normalcy at the earliest.

Further efforts are also underway to liaise with relevant departments to mobilize additional relief materials to the affected villages, it said.

It may be noted that NH-02 and several interior roads have remained cut off for the past few days due to heavy rain-triggered landslides at multiple locations, severely affecting access and mobility in the area.
