As rainwater inundated residences in Dimapur on July 8, home-owners on the banks of the Chathe River in Seitheke Basa, Chümoukedima, were forced to abandon their sinking homes. (In picture) One of the sinking houses abandoned on July 8. The home-owners salvaged whatever they could from the building, a portion of which sank the night before. Overlooking the sinking homes, an under-construction amphitheatre stood seemingly unaffected and detached from the gloom and destruction on the opposite bank. (Morung Photo)
