AIZAWL, June 16 - A fresh landslide today cut off Champhai town in eastern Mizoram from the rest of the country, while nine kachcha houses of a town in south Mizoram�s Lunglei district were swept away by flood, officials said.
A massive landslide near Keifang village snapped road connection with Champhai, a town on Indo-Myanmar border in Champhai district.
However, National Highway 54, considered the lifeline of Mizoram which was blocked at many places due to earlier landslides, was cleared of debris.
The nine kachcha houses were swept away and 12 other houses damaged by flood in Mizoram-Bangladesh border Tlabung town in south Mizoram�s Lunglei district, officials said.
Though the waters of Khawthlangtuipui river submerged over 350 houses in Tlabung earlier, the situation improved after the heavy rainfall ceased from Wednesday night. � PTI
