Along with the NSDMA’s distribution, community support has also been mobilised. The Konyak Students’ Union (KSU), Kohima, started a crowdfunding initiative to help landslide victims. The union said voluntary public contributions were collected and used to deliver essential commodities to families affected by the disaster.
Civic groups ask for faster, wider assistance
Political and student groups have urged the state and relief agencies to strengthen response and rehabilitation work. The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) said floods and landslides have impacted places in Mon district including Tizit Town, Tizit Village and Lapalampong Village. NPCC claimed that nearly 800 households in Tizit Town alone have been affected and said many families are facing a serious humanitarian situation.
NPCC also said the disaster has damaged or washed away homes, schools, hostels, shops, tea gardens, agricultural land and livestock. It expressed concern that adequate relief may not have reached many affected families and urged comprehensive relief and rehabilitation measures by the state government, NSDMA and other agencies.
Student representatives from the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) offered condolences to families who lost loved ones in the landslides and flash floods. The NSF acknowledged the work of the district administration, NSDMA, the State Disaster Response Force, security forces, medical personnel, churches and volunteers. It also called for collective assistance and said the government should ensure relief reaches every affected family in a timely, transparent and equitable manner.
Both groups asked for longer-term recovery steps. NSF highlighted the need for restoration of damaged roads, bridges, electricity, water supply and communication networks, along with compensation for losses such as homes, crops and livestock. The KSU said its relief drive will continue and appealed to the public to contribute through freewill donations.
