A massive landmass of residential area at lower Artang Ward, below Nagaland Christian Residential School, is on the verge of facing a massive landslide due to incessant rains.
Speaking to Nagaland Post, Nungsangmar, a resident of the area, said the entire neighbourhood suddenly woke up just after midnight due to the eerie rumbling and cracking sounds, accompanied by shaking of their houses.
Finally, when the shaking stopped, he and his family members gathered began checking the area. They then they discovered a massive crack in their entire house with walls uprooted at few places, he added.
Four houses were partially damaged in the incident. These houses had developed cracks on floors, walls, retaining walls, foundation, etc. Another resident remarked that if the landmass went down in the form of landslide, all the four houses, an electrical tower and the road would be washed away, thereby completely cutting off over 40 households living below.
