A devastating landslide occurred at Mission Compound ward in Kiphire, causing significant damage and affecting the lives of several families. The heavy rainfall in the past few days has resulted in landslides at multiple locations in the district, putting the lives of at least six families at risk, with the potential to affect 50 to 60 more families.

In response to the natural disaster, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) in collaboration with the Kiphire District Administration swiftly conducted a visit to the affected areas. Relief funds have been provided to six families affected by the landslides. Among the affected areas were Mission Compound ward, Power Station ward, Jail ward, and certain regions below Kiphire Village Baptist Church. To mitigate further impacts, the concerned department has provided cash to the ward Chairmen of the Rest House ward and Forest ward to purchase Tarpaulins and cover the affected areas.
