Since rainfall has decreased and water levels in the main rivers have dropped, Manipur’s flood situation has significantly improved. Since May 31, the state has been struggling with severe rains; this development is a relief. It is anticipated that the impacted areas will experience less stress as a result of the drop in water levels, enabling better coordination of relief efforts. The army and Assam Rifles have been actively carrying out rescue and relief efforts under Operation Jalrahat-II in response to the flooding.
These initiatives, which are concentrated on offering prompt aid and lessening the influence on the local populace, are continuing throughout the state. Reaching isolated regions that were badly impacted by the floods has been made possible thanks in large part to the efforts. Over 165,000 individuals have been impacted by the floods, which have also damaged about 35,242 homes throughout the state. The situation was made worse by the overflowing Kongba, Imphal, and Nambul rivers, which broke through multiple embankments. The difficulties in relief efforts have been exacerbated by the damage to the infrastructure.
4,097 people have been rescued from floodwaters by rescue operations, and 78 relief camps are now offering temporary housing and supplies. It has been essential for rescue personnel and local authorities to coordinate. In the Imphal West district, a 57-year-old man died. Crop damage from heavy rains had an effect on rural communities and local economies. In the upcoming weeks, the state administration intends to assist farmers. Restoring normalcy and aiding communities in their reconstruction are the main priorities as the situation stabilizes.
