Imphal, August 20 2010:
Landslides have occurred near the Kohima Municipality Council (KMC) dumping ground and its vicinity since a week ago.
Fresh landslides occurred again today.
Reports gathered by Newmai News Network on Friday indicate that more landslides are likely to occur if the weather condition does not improve in the next few days.
Over 400 Manipur bound trucks are still stranded in the area.
At the same time, another landslide had occurred yesterday near Kisima between Mao Gate and Kohima which virtually cut off the Nagaland capital from the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, our Tamenglong correspondent, Daniel Kamei reported that following heavy rains during the past week, a massive mud slide has occurred at Khongsang village which completely cut off the road between Tamenglong and Imphal.
The mudslide occurred 2 km from Khongsang.
Many vehicles bound for Imphal or Nungba have returned to Tamenglong.
