Water logging at JNIMS and its surrounding areas i.e. Porompat Soibam Leikai, Porompat Thawan Thaba Leikai, and Kongpal Mutum Leikai has significantly subsided due to de-clogging of Pemikhong. Similarly, de-clogging of Takhelkhong has led to subsiding in waterlogging at the Govindajee Temple and its surrounding areas like Andro-parking and Konung-Mamang.
Manipur Fire Service surveyed the JNIMS hospital complex and prepared an elaborate plan to clean up the premises. Once flood waters receded enough below the ground floor plinth levels.
