Mudslides at Lamlenkon near T Vaichong Sub Divisional Headquarters cut off Twilang area from the rest of the world since Wednesday. This is the seventh time, the mudslides had occurred at the place since August last year.
The Joint Monitoring Development Committee of IT Road as usual immediately swung into action by bringing in a JCB to clear the road but it was impossible to do so owing to the unceasing heavy rainfall.
The shortcut road from Thonglang Atongba to T Vaichong Sub Divisional Headquarters via Lamchok was also temporarily closed owing to an alarming rise in water level in the Irang river.
The Joint Monitoring Development Committee Chairman, Lutngam Manlun said, “It was all because of the state Government and authorities’ failure to initiate measures for a permanent solution that the mudslides occurred continuously, putting us in a state of dilemma”.
He then appealed to the state government and authorities concerned to initiate measures for a permanent solution.
Meanwhile, a landslide also reportedly occurred at Bajagara village partially damaging one residential house.
