The hailstorm, accompanied by heavy rainfall and strong winds, has left a trail of destruction in its wake. Homes, particularly in areas like Canchipur and Tera in Imphal West, bore the brunt of the onslaught, with tin roofs riddled with holes due to hailstones.
The forceful winds didn’t spare hutments either, uprooting them in various regions. Additionally, parked vehicles suffered damages as hailstones cracked windshields, while trees were uprooted across many areas.
In response, Chief Minister Singh pledged swift action, promising to repair the damaged houses. He urged affected residents to submit photographs of their homes to the respective deputy commissioners for immediate assistance.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, the Chief Minister’s Office has launched helpline numbers for different districts impacted by the calamity. These numbers aim to provide immediate assistance and support to those in need during this challenging time.
Singh reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens affected by the adverse weather conditions. He urged individuals requiring assistance not to hesitate in reaching out for help, emphasizing that the state stands united in providing aid during this testing period.
