Roads Blocked and Farms Flooded After September Storms in Kolasib

Severe thunderstorms on September 12 swept across Kolasib district, triggering landslides that closed the Serkhan‑Bagha–Saiphai highway and blocked the Vairengte‑Bilkhauthlir road. Smaller slides cut off local lanes in villages such as Rengte Tlanga Song. Heavy rain also flooded several fish‑pond farms, threatening the livelihoods of aquaculture workers. Emergency teams are clearing debris, restoring connectivity and setting up temporary shelters. Local representatives have called for swift government action to repair infrastructure and support affected farmers.
