Heavy rains caused the Tuli River to overflow, flooding more than 500 households in Nagaland and washing away the NH‑02 road link to Assam.
The Tuli River in Nagaland burst its banks after days of intense rainfall, inundating villages along its course. Local officials report that the flood has damaged or submerged more than 500 households, displacing families and disrupting daily life.
The surge also swept away a critical stretch of National Highway 02, the main arterial road that connects Nagaland with the neighboring state of Assam. The damaged section has been declared unsafe, halting vehicular traffic and hampering relief operations.
State disaster management teams have been deployed to the affected area, setting up temporary shelters and distributing emergency supplies. Engineers from the Public Works Department are assessing the road damage and are expected to begin restoration work as soon as water levels recede.
Authorities have urged residents to stay clear of the flood‑affected zones and to cooperate with rescue teams. The situation remains fluid, with further updates expected as the monsoon continues.
