Landslide hit Kohima
Kohima: Hit by landslides, crippled Kohima is trying to get back to normalcy, three days after major landslides occurred on NH 29.
”Two bulldozers have been engaged in clearing the debris at two points –one at the checkpost and the other about two kilometers beyond towards Jharnapani,” official sources said.
It would take one week at least to make the road safe enough, the sources added.
Vehicles coming from Kohima and vice-versa are allowed to cross only at regular intervals to allow safe passage, the sources said.
The mobile networks were also affected due to the landslides.
According to BSNL sources, the optical fibre line was snapped on Saturday, which could not be repaired on Sunday due to ongoing restoration works by JCBs (Bulldozers) in various landslide points. (UNI)
