On the Jatinga-Lampur section, landslip repair is underway; the rail link will reopen by June 30.

A massive landslide on the Jatinga-Lampur section of the hill railway line has severely disrupted train services across Northeast India, leading to the cancellation of multiple long-distance trains and cutting off vital rail links to states like Mizoram, Manipur, and Tripura. Over 200 workers have been deployed by the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) to clear debris and restore connectivity, with operations continuing round-the-clock despite challenging weather conditions. NFR General Manager Chetan Srivastava, after visiting the site, expressed confidence that rail services would resume by June 30. Meanwhile, relentless rainfall has triggered additional landslides along the Silchar-Saiphung National Highway, stranding goods-laden trucks and further straining public mobility and regional supply chains. Restoration efforts are ongoing, but the continued monsoon poses significant challenges to returning normalcy.

“The World Meetei Council has urged Kuki and Meitei legislators in Manipur to set aside political differences and take immediate responsibility for resolving the ongoing ethnic conflict.

Emphasizing the crucial role of local leadership, the Council appealed to MLAs to rise above politics and lead efforts for peace, warning that if elected representatives do not act, ‘then who will?’ Despite several attempts by the Centre, the desired resolution remains elusive, with more than 260 lives lost and thousands displaced since May 2023.”
