Tragic events unfolded in the Indian state of Sikkim. Heavy monsoon rains persisted continuously for several days. It is worth noting that in the Mangan area in northern Sikkim, from June 1 to June 14, 13.1 inches of rain was recorded according to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), which is approximately 90% more than the normal average of inches. Of this, inches fell in just 48 hours.
According to state authorities, floodwaters from the Teesta River washed away roads and bridges, causing serious damage and disrupting transportation. Various areas of the state, including Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, were affected by the disaster. The worst-hit areas were Lachen, Lachung, and Chungthang, where the rains triggered numerous landslides, blocking roads and destroying bridges. Nearly 100 houses were destroyed, and agricultural lands and pastures were flooded. In the Singtam area, the College Khola river overflowed, sweeping away a suspension bridge and damaging numerous houses.
