Imphal, Manipur: Under the thorough personal supervision of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri N. Biren Singh, a dedicated flood rescue team from the Loktak Development Authority (LDA) has been actively involved in relief operations since the late evening of 28th May 2024.
The team, led by LDA Chairman Shri M. Asnikumar Singh and assisted by its Project Director Shri Bhagaton, has been working in close coordination with the Chief Secretary, district administration, and other concerned stakeholders to mitigate the impact of the recent floods.
