Lamka’s Drainage Failure: A Town Left to Flood

THIS photograph from Lamka is nothing short of a disgrace. What should be a main thoroughfare has been transformed into a dangerous, muddy river, proving that our town’s infrastructure is currently a total failure.

Lamka | 21 May 2026

Proper drainage isn’t just about convenience; it’s a basic necessity for public safety and health. We have to ask: where are the authorities? The PWD and local administration have clearly gone missing in action. It is their job to design and maintain systems that can handle heavy rain, yet year after year, we see the same pathetic results. Their negligence is quite literally flooding our livelihoods.

However, the blame isn’t theirs alone. This mess is exacerbated by a chronic lack of civic sense. When residents treat drains as rubbish bins, they are sabotaging their own community. A blocked drain is a ticking time bomb, and we are now seeing the explosion.

It’s time for the authorities to step up and for the public to stop the littering. Lamka cannot progress if we are constantly wading through our own waste. We deserve a town that functions, but that requires both government accountability and individual responsibility.

INVITE FOR A PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY AT PRESS CLUB IN DELHI

Time: 3 pm onwards

What will the speakers talk about: Environmentalists and grassroot people from different states of India    like Karnataka, Odisha, Uttarakhand, Haryana and  Rajasthan are coming to Delhi to highlight how India’s natural ecosystems are under grave threat. The speakers will also release a letter to the media that citizens and civil society groups across the country are sending to the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India (CJI) and express their serious concerns on the recent oral remarks made in court by the CJI on 11 May 2026 regarding the right of citizens to question irregularities in projects negatively impacting natural ecosystems, their livelihoods and right to life. The comments risk casting doubts on the legitimacy of bona fide public interest litigations asking for proper environmental scrutiny while portraying the litigants as a suspect constituency rather than as participants in a constitutional democracy performing their duty as law abiding citizens. Speakers will highlight the content of the letter sent to the CJI along with demands of the citizens.

List of Speakers:

1) Joseph Hoover, Managing Trustee, United Conservation Movement (working for protection of Western Ghats) 

2) Prafulla Samantara,

National Convenor,

Lok Shakti Abhiyan (Senior environmentalist from Odisha ) 

3) Atul Sati,

Junta Restores Control in Falam Town

FALAM has reportedly witnessed the return of former administration workers after Myanmar’s junta regime reasserted control over the northern Chin State town.

Those returning include non-CDM (Civil Disobedience Movement) personnel such as nurses, local police members and administrative staff who had earlier left their duties amid the conflict.

As the situation gradually stabilises, many residents who had fled to Hakha and Kalaymyo are also returning to Falam.

Observers say the development reflects growing public preference for stability under the junta administration, as Chin armed groups continue to face difficulties in maintaining control and governance in the town.

Sources further noted that ongoing disunity among the Chin resistance groups has weakened morale, not only among their supporters but also within the wider anti-junta movement.
