Heavy rainfall since yesterday has disrupted normal life across parts of Kalimpong in West Bengal and Sikkim, triggering flash floods and landslides that led to traffic disruptions and road closures in several locations.

In south Sikkim, flash flooding along the Namchi-Jorthang road on Thursday severely obstructed vehicle movement. Authorities have urged commuters to exercise caution.

Meanwhile, in Kalimpong district, the superintendent of police has issued a travel advisory after heavy rains damaged stretches of road near Melli and Kirney. As a precautionary measure, movement of heavy vehicles has been restricted in these vulnerable zones to ensure public safety and maintain smooth traffic flow.
