Imphal, August 18: Even though parts of valley areas are still lying under water overall flood situation is vastly improved but reports of landslides in hilly region start to trickle in.

In several places relief camps have opened to provide medical and veterinary requirements of flood affected people and animals.

Village chief of Twisomyang (Mate) village of Sadar Hills (East) expressing remorse at concentration of State Government machineries in relief and rescue operations at valley areas only while ignoring the plight of hill villagers said over 10 paris of farmland in the village has been destroyed due to landslide following torrential rain.

Drawing Government attention on the gravity of the situation demanded that officials concerned be deputed to assess and provide relief to the affected families.

Some parts of valley may finally heave a sign of relief due to stoppage of rainfall for a day or two but residents of low lying areas especially in the periphery of Loktak Lake and those where breaching occurred still continues to struggle.

Most villages of Thanga are lying under water and paddy fields inundated due to steady flow of river water into Loktak Lake resulting in gradual rise of water level.

Some organization flayed Ministers/MLAs for not providing adequate relief materials to the affected people.
