CM to visit North Bengal as landslides wreak havoc, death toll rises to 24
The Statesman Siliguri
|October 06, 2025
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is to visit North Bengal on Monday to assess the grim situation caused by incessant rains, flash floods and multiple landslides that have left at least 24 people dead, scores missing and hundreds stranded in the hills.
Miss Banerjee, who has been monitoring the situation from the control room at Nabanna since early Sunday, told a vernacular television channel that she would leave for Siliguri along with Chief Secretary Manoj Pant and other senior officials. “I will reach there by Monday afternoon and review the ground situation from Siliguri,” she said.
Incessant overnight rains have triggered massive landslides in several parts of Darjeeling district, with Mirik and Sukhiapokhri emerging as the worst-hit. A bridge collapse at Mirik claimed at least nine lives, while seven others were reported dead in Sukhiya. Another fatality was confirmed from Bijanbari, police said.
