Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Issue regarding pathetic condition of people due to heavy rains in Nagaland.
SHRI TOKHEHO (NAGALAND): Hon. Madam Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to raise an important issue regarding Nagaland State.
Madam, in Nagaland, there has been heavy rains with thunder storm since April 2018. Due to this, the normal life has been disrupted since 26th July this year. Since then, the Capital of Nagaland, Kohima along with other districts have completely cut off. There is a severe crisis because of continuous raining in the State. On 27th July last month, 6 people were washed away, of which 5 were students. Till date, bodies of 3 victims could not be recovered.
Madam, as you know, the State of Nagaland does not have railways, airlines and waterways.
I want to request the hon. Home Minister to kindly send the officers concerned to see all that is taking place in Nagaland. Thank you.
HON. SPEAKER:
Shri Bhairon Prasad Mishra, Shri George Baker, Shri Rameshwar Teli, Shri Kamakhya Prasad Tasa and Kunwar Pushpendra Singh Chandel are allowed to associate with the matter raised by Shri Tokheho.
