Hailstorm Leaves Trail of Destruction in Manipur, CM Extends Support to Victims

Heavy rain accompanied by a cyclonic hailstorm battered Manipur on Sunday afternoon, wreaking havoc across the state.

The intense hailstorm, lasting nearly 15 minutes, caused widespread destruction in the Imphal valley, damaging homes and uprooting trees.

The deluge resulted in severe waterlogging on several roads in Imphal city, with an uprooted tree falling on an auto rickshaw, causing partial damage. Tragically, numerous birds were found dead on the streets due to the hailstorm's impact.

Meanwhile, Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh issued an urgent assistance alert and opened helpline numbers in various districts.

Taking to platform 'X', Biren Singh wrote, "In the wake of the recent hailstorm impacting several areas across Manipur, our priority is ensuring swift assistance for those in need."
