NH 29 landslide buries paddy fields
A huge landslide on NH 29 in Phek district buried paddy fields just as farmers needed them most.
Flooding also blocked the Pfutsero-Phek road, making it tough to reach Phek town or Kohima.
Criticism has been raised over the transfer of the highway's maintenance from the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. (NHIDCL) to the Nagaland Public Works Department, especially since farmers are facing big losses this season.
