At least 236 houses and eight refugee camps have been damaged after super cyclone Mocha' struck several parts of Mizoram, officials said on Monday.
A total of 5,749 people in more than 50 villages were affected by the powerful winds on Sunday, they said.
However, there were no reports of fatalities.
Super cyclone Mocha' made landfall along the Myanmar-Bangladesh coasts on Sunday, after intensifying into the equivalent of a Category-5 storm, causing extensive damage to the southeastern coastlines and forcing the evacuation of over five lakh people in low lying areas.
Of the 236 houses, 27 were completely damaged and 127 houses were partially damaged, the officials said.
Siaha district in the southern part of Mizoram, which shares its border with Myanmar, was the worst hit as 101 houses, including two relief camps, suffered damages, they said.
