IMPHAL: The official from the Imphal West district administration has cautioned residents living in close proximity to the river to remain vigilant. The warning comes amidst concerns of potential breaches in the river banks or embankments, as heavy rainfall has led to a significant rise in the water levels of the river, an official said on Tuesday.
A notification issued by the office of district magistrate Imphal West on Monday night said, "Major rivers in the district have reached warning level in Imphal area."
"Catchment areas of Imphal and Nambul river are reported to be receiving continuous rainfall," it said, adding that the IMD has warned of "heavy to very heavy rainfall activity in Manipur for the next five days."
The notification said, "Public in general and people located near river fronts, river banks or close to river course are requested to stay alert for any possible breach of river banks."
The Imphal river, is the most substantial river in the Manipur valley.
