DIMAPUR (NAGALAND): Six people were killed in a massive mudslide after heavy rainfall damaged houses and major portions of National Highway-29 in Nagaland’s Chumoukedima district, officials said on Wednesday.

The mudslide that occurred at Pherima and Pagala Pahar also washed away a section of the national highway on Tuesday night snapping road communications between the state's commercial hub of Dimapur and Nagaland capital Kohima.
