On May 28, 2024, Cyclone "Remal" unleashed its fury over the North-East region, triggering heavy rains and widespread devastation in Manipur. The incessant downpour, coupled with a breach in the Imphal River, led to severe flooding in the Imphal Valley, affecting areas such as Maibakhul, Khabam, Heingang, Achambigei, and Kairang.
To cope with the flood situations, NDRF was called to assist the administration on rescue and evacuation work. NDRF promptly swung into action to bring normalcy to the affected state and deployed its teams in various affected districts for flood rescue operations. During the operation, NDRF teams rescued more than 2025 and 172 persons were evacuated to safer places.
