Red alert in Sikkim after Teesta crosses danger mark
The Statesman Siliguri
|June 01, 2025
Residents were advised to stay in safe locations; particularly alarming was the situation in Phidang village, north Sikkim, where the intensified water flow threatened nearby settlements
The Sikkim administration issued a red alert on Saturday morning after relentless overnight rainfall in Mangan district caused the Teesta River to swell beyond the danger level, eroding its banks at multiple locations.
A red alert remained in effect for at least three hours, during which residents were advised to stay in safe locations. Particularly alarming was the situation in Phidang village, North Sikkim, where the intensified water flow threatened nearby settlements.
Given the "red warning" status for Mangan, authorities cautioned that any flood-like situation in the north could affect the downstream stretch of the Teesta in Gangtok district, especially between Dikchu and Singtam.
All tourist permits for north Sikkim were suspended following a massive landslide near Chungthang. Traffic movement was completely halted near the Toong check-post due to debris, prompting local MLA and social welfare minister Samdup Lepcha to visit the affected areas.

Awaiting the grand finale
It is interesting for me to observe how conversation topics with my friends have evolved with our age. Before we reached retirement age our discussions focused on women/relationships, travelling to exotic places, our professional activities, children's future, debates about Obama's birthplace, sports, movies etc. In more recent years, the focus has shifted to health issues, social security benefits, reminiscing about life, existence of God, financial planning in old age and so on.
