Chadong, Manipur

Chadong refers to a Tangkhul village in Kamjong district, Manipur state, India.

Chadong is flanked by Riha in the North, Nongdam in the South, Yaingangpokpi in the west and Shingkap in the east.

Locally, the inhabitants speak Chadong dialect that belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family.

In 2015, the original settlement got submerged in water when the Mapithel Multi Purpose dam was commissioned.

[1][2] The submerged church and the old settlement is visible when the water level of the dam recedes during winter and is a major attraction for tourists to revisit the once flourishing village.
