The grim flood situation prompted authorities and Assam Rifles to issue helpline numbers to assist residents in Imphal and other parts of Manipur.
A large number of people are stranded in their homes.
Major roads across the districts of Imphal West, Imphal East, Thoubal, Bishnupur, and Kakching have been submerged.
These have brought transportation to a standstill. Assam Rifles quickly plunged into relief and rescue operation under Operation Jalrahat-2.
