GANGTOK, Oct.4, 2023 (TBINN)
A sudden cloud-burst over Lhonak Lake in North Sikkim has resulted in a flash-flood in the Teesta River at Lachen Valley, which was compounded by the release of water from a dam, leading to 23 Army personnel being washed away, camps and vehicles being submerged, officials said.
The floods started around 1.30 A.M., they said.
Defence officials said establishments along the valley have been affected and efforts are on to confirm details.
