The Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has urged Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla to officially declare the ongoing flood situation in Manipur as a “State Calamity.” In a letter submitted by MP Bimol Akoijam, the Congress leader emphasized that such a declaration would streamline inter-departmental coordination, unlock financial assistance from the center, and facilitate relief and infrastructure restoration. The flooding has severely impacted multiple districts, with Imphal East among the worst affected. Given the early onset and intensity of this year’s monsoon, coupled with an orange alert issued by the India Meteorological Department, officials warn that the situation is likely to worsen.
