Severe rainfall has brought travel and rescue operations in North Sikkim to a standstill, leaving over 1,200 domestic tourists and two foreign nationals stranded in the remote areas of Lachen and Lachung, located in Mangan district. The torrential downpour has caused widespread destruction, including massive landslides, bridge damage, and rising water levels in the Teesta River, which have hindered efforts to evacuate the trapped visitors.
