The cabinet also addressed various state issues and resolved to form a sub-committee focused on the rehabilitation and resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) impacted by recent ethnic violence.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has noted that the southwest monsoon has entered Assam and other parts of the northeast region ahead of its scheduled time due to the effects of Cyclone Remal.

The Indian Meteorological Department has issued warnings for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms in several districts over the next two days.

The relentless downpour over the past few days has triggered floods in the Imphal valley, resulting in three fatalities and affecting thousands.

The flooding has also impacted around 401 hectares of crops, further aggravating the crisis.

Concurrently, ongoing rescue operations persist in heavily affected areas of Imphal East and Imphal West districts.

Mizoram stands as the epicentre of the disaster, bearing the brunt of Remal's destructive power.

Although official figures are not yet available, the officer indicated that over 4,000 people may have been affected by the flood.
