Sixteen thousand will be given to the three injured persons as per the norms of the Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA), Deputy Chief Minister Zeliang said.
After the casualties on Wednesday, Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio took stock of the situation and urged people to heed official advisories.

Zeliang expressed anguish over the unfortunate incident that caused the death of six persons and said, "We convey our deep condolences to the bereaved families of the six persons and wish a speedy recovery to the three injured persons who are admitted to the hospital."
Zeliang said that since there is no other alternative road for plying heavy vehicles, National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) has been directed to make the NH-29 operational within 24 hours to ensure that the supply of essential commodities like food items is not adversely affected.
