Imphal, Oct 1:
A series of natural calamities, including a landslide and heavy rains, have disrupted life in Noney district. Early this morning, a landslide occurred at the Awangkhul landslide point on National Highway 37, between Awangkhul and Langkhong. The incident has caused significant disruption to transportation and daily activities in the region.
Since 1 a.m. last night, heavy rains have lashed Longmai Bazaar, the main market hub of Noney town. Continuous downpours have led to flooding in the town and nearby areas, further hindering daily activities. Power outages and electricity failures have also been reported, compounding the difficulties faced by residents.

Meanwhile, the death toll in Nepal from floods and landslides has risen to 126, with dozens still missing.
