Manipur CM Visits Flood-Affected Areas
N. Biren Singh, in a bid to resolve the ongoing crisis across many parts of the state, extended special attention to the vulnerable spots where rivers are overflowing with water.
Taking to microblogging platform X, the Manipur CM said, “Visited the flood affected areas at Keirao and Kshetrigao today. Assessed the measures to deliver the immediate need of the affected households while identifying the vulnerable spots to reinforce the river embankments so that further overflowing of rivers may be prevented.”
The relentless rains caused the Imphal, Kongba, and Iril Rivers to breach their embankments at nine locations across Imphal East and Imphal West districts. At least two people died after drowning in the Senapati River, officials said.
