In the early hours of Sunday, a massive landslide struck Sikkim’s Mangan district, according to officials from the local administration.
The slide involved a substantial portion of the hillside along a new road cutting of the Naga‑Tosa Road in the Naga Forest area, opposite the Theng Tunnel. It collapsed near the confluence of the Teesta and Chyakoong rivers in the Chungthang subdivision.
The landslide partially blocked the flow of both rivers. Officials reported that no casualties or injuries have been recorded so far, and the extent of damage to property is still being assessed.
River levels at the Sankalang and Phidang outposts remain normal, although the water is muddy. The local administration has been instructed to maintain continuous monitoring of water levels and to report any significant changes immediately.
