First Published: 20th July, 2022 17:44 IST

During the deliberations, several key decisions were taken on the basis of demands put forward by the Makhuam village authority.

Less than 2 hours left, the relentless search and rescue operations at the Tupul landslide site in Manipur’s Noney district will wind up officially.

In view of this, a high-level meeting was convened at the CM Secretariat under the chairmanship of N Biren Singh.

During the deliberations, several key decisions were taken on the basis of demands put forward by the Makhuam village authority.

In the meeting, the Railway department has agreed to hold an extensive discussion with IIT Guwahati, Manipur University, and other concerned institutions to have a detailed investigation for working out how the hill slopes adjacent to railway boundaries in the Jiribam-Imphal project can better be monitored so that early warning can be given for any future untoward event.

Besides, the railway department along with the government agencies shall jointly survey and assess the extent of damages in Makhuam and Pongringlong villages and work on the process of compensation.

Apart from this, site identification for the memorial site shall be done jointly by railways, Noney district administration, and Makhuam village authority. However, the construction shall be initiated only after the stabilization of the landslide region and the removal of debris.
