Several sections of the National Highway (NH) 10 connecting West Bengal to Sikkim, have also been washed away and many roads are also blocked.

Sikkim Cloudburst: Schools Closed Till October 8

The Education Department, Government of Sikkim has issued a circular which states that all government schools in the State will remain shut till October 8 2023. The circular has been issued after a flood alert was called for, by the Sikkim State Disaster Management of Sikkim (SSDMS). There has been no separate notice regarding private schools of the state.

23 Indian Army Personnel Missing

Due to a sudden cloud burst over Lhonak Lake in North Sikkim, a flash flood occurred in Teesta River in Lachen Valley. Some army establishments along the valley have been affected and efforts are on to confirm details. 23 personnel have been reported missing and some vehicles are reported submerged under the slush. This has been confirmed by the Defence PRO, Guwahati and they have also said that ‘Search operations are underway’. According to the Defence PRO, Guwahati, the release of water from the Chungthang Dam led to a sudden increase in water level up to 15-20 feet high downstream. This in turn led to Army vehicles parked at Bardang near Singtam getting affected.
