A relief camp is now open at the Konyak Union office to help those affected.
With roads flooded and bridges down, Mon is completely cut off from nearby towns: travelers are having to take longer routes.
The state government is keeping a close eye on things; Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has announced ₹400,000 for families who lost loved ones and ₹74,000 for those injured.
