COCOMI convener Khuraijam Athouba, in a statement, cited the critical need for authorities to actively pump out water from inundated areas, even though rainfall has ceased and river levels are receding.
Athouba cautioned that standing water poses a significant threat, potentially leading to widespread spoilage of crops, vegetables, and other goods, and increasing the risk of disease outbreaks.
He further urged the authorities to compile and publicly release a detailed report on the flood-affected population, ensuring transparency and timely updates on the ongoing situation.
