Evacuation Of 1,200 Stranded Tourists Begins From Rain-Hit Sikkim
The much-delayed evacuation of 1,200 stranded tourists in rain-hit Sikkim's Chungthang began from Toong via Mangan through roads today afternoon. The airlifting of stranded tourists was not possible due to inclement weather and heavy rain, officials said. Despite incessant rain and multiple slides to cross over, the team is handling the evacuation in batches, they said.
