Torrential rainfall triggered by Cyclone Remal has led to severe waterlogging in several parts of Manipur, including Imphal, resulting in a flood-like situation. Multiple houses and vehicles have been affected, and rescue operations are being carried out by the Indian Army, Assam Rifles, NDRF, and local authorities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have taken stock of the situation in the flood-hit states.
Incessant rainfall brought about by Cyclone Remal has caused widespread flooding across Manipur, prompting the state government to initiate rescue and relief operations. Over 4,000 people have been rescued from affected areas, including women and children. Severe flooding caused by embankment breaches has resulted in a two-day public holiday. The government has urged citizens to remain indoors unless necessary. Rescue teams have distributed food packets and drinking water to the affected population.
