A massive landslide that occurred Wednesday midnight in Noney district killed two Territorial Army (TA) personnel.
Several were reported to be missing.
Massive rescue operations were launched Thursday by the Army, Assam Rifles, Manipur Police and the people of the area.
Helicopters will be used for rescue operations when the weather is clear, defence officials said.
The landslide also blocked the Ezei river which flows in Noney district about 50 km from Imphal.
