Heavy rains have triggered widespread devastation in Sikkim, cutting off North Sikkim from the rest of the state due to multiple landslides and causing the Teesta River to overflow, displacing hundreds of residents. Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh each for the families of three individuals who lost their lives in Majwa village, South Sikkim. Landslides in North Sikkim have not only blocked crucial roads but also caused significant damage to homes and infrastructure, including electricity poles.
