Imphal: Continuous heavy rainfall over the past few days has severely disrupted vehicular movement along National Highway 202 (Imphal-Ukhrul road) in Manipur, particularly affecting heavy vehicles.
The downpour, especially intense in Ukhrul district, has caused minor landslides along the stretch, although no untoward incidents have been reported.
Vehicles, including private cars, were stranded between New Heaven and TM Kasom village due to mudslides caused by the inclement weather. Drivers were forced to proceed at a snail’s pace as their vehicles skidded on the muddy portions of the road.

The Imphal-Ukhrul road has been in a deplorable condition for many years, causing severe disruptions for commuters.
The ongoing construction to upgrade the highway to a double lane, which began in 2020, often gets flooded with mud and landslide debris, necessitating constant maintenance, especially during the monsoon season.
