Such dumping has led to stagnation of water causing major problems.'' He further said, ''If it continues, there is strong likelihood of huge landslides in the area during monsoon. The government appeals to all concerned to desist from such illegal dumping in the interest of the public. The government also appeals to all citizens to report any such dumping to the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Kohima so that punitive actions can be taken against the offenders.
