Heavy rains over the past two days caused the Imphal river to overflow, flooding areas of the Manipur capital on Wednesday.
The rainfall was a result of Cyclone Mora, after wreaking havoc on the Bangladesh coast, travelling inland towards the northeastern states.
Citizens though, found a temporary way of keeping the floodwaters in check. They have built raised embankments using sacks filled with rocks and mud, thus ensuring the roads stay safe.
A permanent solution might be required as the water level in the river is on a constant rise due to the incessant rainfall.
