The Imphal River, which is the biggest river in the Manipur valley, overflowed on Tuesday night, flooding parts of Yumnam Khunou, the Imphal East district, New Checkon, Mahabali Road, and Palace Compound.

Following the development of cracks along the river banks, residents and officials in the Imphal West district worked to strengthen the retaining walls and river banks at Singjamei, Bamon Leikai, and Yaiskul.
