In response to devastating landslides triggered by relentless monsoon rainfall, the Indian Air Force, in coordination with local authorities and the Assam Rifles, successfully airlifted 5.3 tonnes of essential supplies—including rice and pulses—to isolated villages in Manipur’s Churachandpur district on August 1 and 2, 2025. The joint relief operation, dubbed Operation Sahyog, was launched after hilly terrain and blocked roads had left these areas cut off for days. Hundreds of residents have been displaced, with many taking shelter in temporary camps as landslides and flash floods damaged infrastructure and submerged homes across the state. The ongoing relief efforts come as the government has released emergency funds for the northeastern states, and local leaders, including Henglep MLA Letzamang Haokip, have overseen aerial drops to ensure food security for affected communities. Authorities are racing against time to restore connectivity and provide assistance, as water levels in key rivers remain high and intermittent rainfall continues to pose threats to the recovery process.
