A massive landslide on National Highway 202A, which connects Ukhrul town and Hungpung Kazipphung, has severely disrupted vehicular movement between Imphal and Ukhrul in Manipur.
The landslide occurred at Kazipphung around 6 am on Wednesday morning, followed by another severe landslide at the same site, sending down a portion of the hilltop and blocking the entire highway.
Local residents reported that the landslides have significantly impacted the area, forcing vehicles to be diverted to a local road connecting Ukhrul town. The landslides occurred along a stretch where locals engage in sandstone quarrying activities.
On Thursday, heavy machinery was deployed with the help of the NHIDCL as efforts to clear the road continued for the second day. The work is being supervised by the district administration and Lower Hungpung People’s Organisation (LHPO). It is likely, that the road clearance work will continue till late in the night.
Speaking to EastMojo LHPO Chairman MK Themmayo informed that the village authority has resolved to ban all sandstone quarrying activities owing to the landslides.
"Since such landslide has not only affected the highway but also the village, we have taken a resolution that sandstone quarrying activities along this stretch will be completely banned," Themmayo added.
