In Nagaland, a portion of the National Highway-29 connecting state capital Kohima with commercial hub Dimapur has been completely washed away, following heavy rainfall last night. A massive landslide took place at two locations along the Dimapur-Kohima highway, wherein the National Highway is now completely cut off for vehicular movement.
Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has expressed deep concern by large-scale destruction on NH-29 caused by incessant rainfall. In a social media post, Mr. Rio said authorities are on-site assessing the situation and helping those affected and said the state government will continue to pursue with the central government and NHIDCL for immediate measures and restore normalcy at the earliest.
