The General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Command, Lt Gen R.P. Kalita met the injured Territorial Army personnel, who were admitted to the Limacong Military Hospital on Thursday.

Ganesan has also expressed grief over the incident.
Debris caused by landslides has largely blocked the Ijei River, creating a reservoir that can submerge low-lying areas. An advisory issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Noni district said, "Many people are feared trapped under the debris due to landslide at Tupul Yard railway construction camp. Debris caused by landslides has largely blocked the Ijei river, resulting in the formation of a reservoir, which may submerge the low-lying areas of Noni district headquarters.
