Several establishments along Lachen valley have been affected, according to the Army’s Eastern Command. “The release of water from the Chungthang dam caused a sudden increase in water levels up to 15-20 feet. This has led to Army vehicles parked at Bardang near Singtam getting affected. 23 personnel have been reported missing and some vehicles are reported submerged in the slush. Search operations are underway,” the statement said.
Over the course of the night, Sikkim has received heavy rains. In north Sikkim, a cloudburst caused Lhonak Lake to overflow and increased the Teesta River’s water levels. Sikkim and West Bengal are the last places the Teesta River flows before reaching Bangladesh.
