Imphal, May 29 (PTI) Hundreds of people have been affected by floods triggered by heavy rain in Manipur's Imphal Valley, an official said on Wednesday.
The overflowing Imphal River has inundated several areas, with water entering hundreds of houses, affecting several thousand people who have subsequently taken shelter at nearby community halls, officials said.
When fishermen in Manipur's Thanga island village in the northeast's largest freshwater lake Loktak heard about flooding in the valley areas, they quickly hauled out their row boats from the lake and loaded them on the back of a truck.
