IMPHAL, August 19 NNN: Around 20 houses including six pari (acre) of paddy fields in Sangai Yumpham area in Manipur’s Thoubal district have been submerged by water after a portion on the Wangjing river banks in the area caved in and overflowed around 10 am Monday.
Official sources in IFCD, Thoubal informed that a team of the district IFCD headed by its Chief Engineer and Section Officer rushed to the site after receiving information that a 30 ft portion on the right side of Wangjing river at Sangai Yumpham was breached and flooded several villages and submerged standing crops in the village area.
The official team tried to repair a breached site on the Tentha banks section of the river since early morning, the sources said, adding while doing so, the river suddenly overflowed and flooded the Sangai Yumpham area.
The team then rushed to the site and started restoration work on the breached portion around noon. They were helped by the locals. At around 5 pm, they could control the flooding up to 75 percent. The repairing work was also joined by Tentha local MLA P Brojen and Khangabok constituency MLA O Landhoni Devi. MLA Brojen brought one JCB and tipper trucks to assist the work.
The overflowed water of the river flooded the area after heavy rains lashed the state during the past few days, the sources said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister O Ibobi has instructed the IFCD to open the Ithai barrage gate over the Manipur River to ensure free flow of the Wangjing river water and to control the flooding in the Sangai Yumpham area, official sources said here.

Manipur Information Centre
New Delhi, August 19: Well-known theatre personality Ratan Thiyam from Manipur was on Monday appointed as the Chairperson of the National School of Drama Society.
A press release from the Ministry of Culture said, “The President of India has appointed Shri Thiyam for a period of four years as per the relevant Rules and Regulations of the Society”.
Ratan Thiyam takes over from theatre director, Amal Allana, who demitted office as NSD Chairperson in June this year after serving two consecutive terms.
Writer, director, designer, musician, painter and actor, Ratan Thiyam is one of the most important and influential theatre makers at work in the international performance scene. Son of Manipuri dance masters, Ratan
Thiyam studied painting before turning to writing.
He published his first six novels in 1961 at the age of 22, wrote poetry and reviews. Writing led him to theatre.
In 1971, he enrolled at the National School of Drama in Delhi , gaining a reputation as a powerful actor and director.

His plays have travelled throughout the world, fascinating audiences with their grace and a spectacular style drawn from Manipuri performing arts like Thang-Ta (a Manipuri martial art) and Nata Sankirtana (a classical dance and music form) into his works, which through subversion and reversion, get assimilated into his own distinct form.
He was honored with the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1987, the Padma Shri in 1989 and Sangeet Natak Fellow in 2013.
His play Chakravyuh got the prestigious “Fringe Firsts Award,” from Edinburgh International Theatre Festival in 1987 .
