Senapati, Manipur, May 26, 2024 –
An overnight heavy downpour has led to severe waterlogging and flooding in many parts of Senapati, making it difficult for residents to move around, particularly school children.
The persistent rain has left streets submerged, disrupting daily activities and posing significant challenges for the community. Parents are especially concerned about the safety of their children as they struggle to reach schools through the flooded roads.
Despite the recurring nature of such floods, the district administration has been unable to manage the situation effectively. There has been no significant initiative to address the flooding problem, leaving residents frustrated and calling for urgent action to improve infrastructure and drainage systems.
The community hopes for immediate and long-term solutions to prevent future disruptions caused by heavy rains.
People should stop encroaching into the river to make it narrower that causes flooding.
