All major rivers flowing above danger-level in Manipur
Imphal: Incessant rains for last three days in Manipur
have led to all major rivers here flowing above the danger level mark and affected life at different places. Major business centres of Imphal city like Paona Bazar
and Thangal Bazar have been inundated. Due to floods, many shops in the main market
areas of the city have been closed. Moreover, several low lying areas of Imphal
and its adjoining areas have been submerged, following overflowing of Nambul,
Imphal and Lilong rivers. The rain, it is feared, would affect paddy harvesting
and damage standing crops. The Meterological department, however, has forecast
fine weather for the next few days.
