Massive Landslide in Sikkim Partially Blocks Teesta and Chyakoong Rivers
A massive landslide struck Sikkim's Mangan district near the confluence of the Teesta and Chyakoong rivers, partially blocking their flow. The landslide occurred along a new road cutting near the Theng Tunnel in the Naga Forest area. No casualties or injuries have been reported, and property damage is under assessment. River levels remain normal but muddy, prompting authorities in Sikkim and downstream West Bengal to issue alerts and monitor water levels continuously. Residents are advised to stay vigilant and avoid riverbanks until clearance operations conclude.
