Notify that roads are badly damaged in rural areas of Meghalaya and even those that have been re-opened, are slush-ridden, making it impossible for trucks with essential supplies to travel.

The flash floods, triggered off by a massive cloud-burst in South West Garo Hills district in Meghalaya on Sunday night, caused landslides throughout the region.
The state government of Meghalaya had said it is working on an emergency plan to get oil tankers and trucks carrying essential supplies into the affected areas at the earliest.
