Incessant Rains Flood Dimapur, Trigger Landslides on NH-29; Daily Life in Nagaland Disrupted
First Published: 6th July, 2025 14:28 IST
Incessant rainfall since the early hours of July 5 caused artificial flooding across multiple localities, severely affecting the daily lives of residents.
Nagaland is once again battling the monsoon fury as continuous rains have wreaked havoc across several parts of the state, flooding urban areas and triggering landslides along the vulnerable stretch of National Highway-29.
Dimapur, Nagaland’s biggest commercial city, has reported the worst impact. Incessant rainfall since the early hours of July 5 caused artificial flooding across multiple localities, severely affecting the daily lives of residents.
The floodwaters have submerged major areas including LRC Colony, Nagarjan Road, Vilhume Colony, Netaji Colony, the Super Market bus/sumo stand, Aoyimti village, and Purana Bazar B village. Roads turned into rivers, homes were inundated, and many schools were forced to shut down.
The situation has also led to a major power blackout in Dimapur. With floodwaters surrounding houses and lanes, locals are concerned about the high risk of electrical accidents.
Meanwhile, the heavy rains have triggered multiple landslides along the NH-29 stretch from Patkai Christian College to Ghaspani, a section notorious for road accidents and landslide-related tragedies. Boulders and rock debris have already fallen in some areas, though no casualties have been reported so far.
Authorities have urged travellers to remain alert, monitor weather conditions closely, and avoid non-essential travel along the highway.
