Imphal, June 25 2010:
While reports of the ravages caused by the recent flash flood after days of heavy down pour did receive media attention and hence managed to bring it to the notice of the Government, the story of the immense losses suffered by the people of Noney, Tamenglong district on June 9, have just come to light.
Accompanied by tell tale photographs, the Bethany Tribal Girls' Hostel and Orphanage in a statement issued to the press said that the over flooding of Ijei river, Noney on June 9 at about 6 am has caused immense loss to the people residing nearby, with many of their houses completely submerged and some washed away.

The Bethany Tribal Girls' Hostel cum Orphanage (Hope Children's Home) building being run by Mrs Akhamlu was swept away by the swirling flood water, said the statement.
All the belongings of Mrs Akhamlu and the girls were washed away by the flood water, said the statement and added that fortunately the girls were not staying at the hostel on the said day as they were on holiday.
Another double storeyed building belonging to one Mathiunam David Pamei, situated next to the girls' hostel was also swept away by the flash flood.
No properties or assets could be saved, it said and added that the plot of the two buildings have been eroded to such an extent that building a fresh structure on the said plot may not be possible.
The people affected by the flood have since then been taking shelter in their neighbour's houses.
