Indian Army rescues 500 stranded tourists from landslide-hit Sikkim

DARJEELING/GANGTOK: The Indian Army rescued 500 stranded tourists, including 54 children, from North Sikkim as torrential rain in parts of the Himalayan state caused landslides and roadblocks, a defence official said on Saturday.

By Saturday noon, the tourists had left the Army camps for their respective destinations with the roads opening up for vehicular traffic. Heavy rain was witnessed in Lachen, Lachung and Chungthang on Friday.

As a result of the downpour, approximately 500 tourists, who were travelling to Lachung and Lachen Valley, were stranded at Chungthang due to landslides and roadblocks en route, he said.

“On request from SDM Chungthang, troops of Trishakti Corps, Indian Army swung into action and rescued the stranded tourists to safety.
