Continuous rainfall lashing Manipur since Wednesday has led to waterlogged roads and disrupted daily life, particularly in Imphal, where several areas were inundated, causing difficulties for commuters and office-goers.

According to local residents, the relentless downpour left major roads submerged and impacted movement across the capital city. Meanwhile, landslides were reported in Ukhrul district headquarters, about 84 km northeast of Imphal, triggering concerns in the hilly terrain.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) had earlier issued warnings of heavy rainfall across the State, particularly in the southern districts of Chandel, Churachandpur, Pherzawl, and parts of Kakching and Thoubal, which are expected to experience strong winds and intense showers in the coming days.

As per data from the IMD’s Meteorological Centre in Imphal, the border town of Moreh recorded the highest rainfall in the State on Thursday with 102 mm, followed by Kamjong (96 mm), Chandel (76 mm), and Ukhrul (60.8 mm).

Though rivers and streams in the hill districts are reportedly rising, there have been no major incidents or casualties reported at the time of filing this report.

It is worth noting that Manipur has already faced three rounds of flooding since Cyclone Remal hit the region in late May last year. The recent spell of heavy rain has heightened public alertness and concern, especially in flood-prone areas.
