Teesta River Monitored Closely As Rain Hits Sikkim

Authorities are watching the Teesta River and National Highway 10 very closely after heavy rain started in upper Sikkim. Teams are checking bridge pillars and keeping emergency workers ready to clear landslides. This helps keep travel safe between Siliguri, Kalimpong, and Gangtok.

Road Safety and New Bridge Plan

Officials have placed repair crews at spots prone to landslides to keep traffic moving. The Central government recently approved a massive project for a new six-lane bridge over the Teesta at Sevoke to improve supply chains in the region.

Public Safety Warnings Issued

Police and local administration have told residents and motorists to stay away from riverbeds and low-lying areas. The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited is working with local teams to manage road safety along this important North Bengal and Sikkim route.
