Around 700 families have been affected after an early morning heavy downpour inundated several colonies here on Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to Dimapur district administration, colonies like LRC, Sachu, Zeliangrong, Half-Nagarjan, Bor-Lengiri and Lengrijan areas have been the worst affected.<\/p>\n

Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Dimapur, Albert told Nagaland Post that relief would be handed over to the affected people on Monday post assessment. <\/p>\n

He said most of the affected families had returned to their homes by afternoon as the water had receded in most colonies. <\/p>\n

He claimed that the district administration had assisted the affected families in coordination with colony leaders. <\/p>\n

In LRC, which was severely affected, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel carried out rescue operations. <\/p>\n

ADC said no relief camps were set up as some of the affected families took shelter in community halls, schools and at their neighbours’ houses.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to a resident of river belt in the colony’s lower khel alone, around 36 houses have been affected. <\/p>\n

A report received from K Sachu Colony claimed that around 200 families have been affected there.<\/p>\n
