Mizoram government's detailed project report (DPR) to prevent further sinking of land at Hunthar area here was recently approved by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), state Home minister Lalchamliana Thursday said.

Lalchamliana told PTI that the area had been damaged a number of times during monsoon due to water leakage under the soil and the NDMA has approved the Rs 20 crore DPR of the state government.

The work would begin after the monsoon while cement coating would be used as a temporary measure during the impending monsoon, the minister said.

Over 100 families have been affected by massive landslides in the area where over 50 houses were dismantled rending hundreds of people displaced.
