Landslide Temporarily Blocks Teesta River Flow in North Sikkim
A major landslide occurred above the Chyakoong River in North Sikkim, temporarily obstructing the flow of the Teesta River. The river is now flowing again.
Residents living in downstream and lower-belt areas are advised to remain alert and exercise extreme caution near the riverbanks. People are requested to avoid approaching or venturing near the river until the situation is officially confirmed to be safe.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and further updates will be issued as necessary.
