After torrential rains from Cyclone Remal, many areas in Manipur are still flooded, despite receding water levels in the Imphal and Nambul rivers. Relief operations led by Assam Rifles and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) continue around the clock to deliver aid and evacuate those stranded.

Teams from the 37 and 33 Assam Rifles and NDRF personnel have been deployed in Imphal's Nagaram area to provide essential assistance.

NDRF commander Anandh Patel reported immediate response to calls for help from affected residents.

Assam Rifles teams navigated flooded neighborhoods in motorboats, supplying food, medicine, and other essentials to those in need.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh tweeted about ongoing efforts to clear waterlogged areas, with the Manipur Fire Service working to remove obstructions and restore the Naga River's flow at North AOC Imphal.

Nagaram, a highly congested and densely populated locality, is among the hardest hit. While many residents have moved to community centers, some remain in their homes.

Grace, a Nagaram resident, returned to her house to retrieve essentials with the help of an Assam Rifles team, who transported her by boat. Similarly, 17-year-old Solan stayed behind to look after his home while his family relocated to a safer area.

Cyclone Remal, which struck Manipur last week, caused severe flooding, leading to the deaths of three people and affecting over a lakh residents.
