Residents of Kohima town are likely to face water supply disruptions for the next 2–3 days due to a major mainline breakage reported on the evening of May 26, 2025. The affected pipeline, which runs from the Jotsoma reserve forest area, burst as a result of aging infrastructure and increased water flow volume.

In a public statement on 27th May, Executive Engineer of the Urban Division, Neilhoukholie Chielie, informed that the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) Urban has launched restoration work on a war footing to address the issue as swiftly as possible.

The EE has appealed to all residents to bear with the inconvenience and continue supporting the division’s efforts during this period of emergency repair.
