Landslides are the collapse of soil or rocks along mountain slopes of mountains normally during the monsoon. The mountainous ranges found in Northeast India being young are landslide prone. This year the South West monsoon arrived early in the month of June with the weather department recording a high rainfall of 435mm in June alone in Manipur.

 

A massive landslide struck on the intervening night of 29-30 June 2022, in Manipur’s Noney district, completely destroying the railway yard at Tupul in Makhuam village, killing 61, injuring 27 and bodies still to be found.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Due to its attractiveness, power is a highly sought after possession/position. This is since it is viewed as a vital source of satisfaction (or achievement). However, on closer comprehension this is a wrong perception of the word ‘power’ precisely because it is defined as ‘the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way’. It is more about responsibility and accountability and less about blatant authority. As such, one can infer that having power is not a desirable thing at all. Ignorance is bliss and that is the hallmark of a powerless life.
