Sikkim Floods - Trail Of Death, Devastation
At least 53 people, including seven soldiers, have died in the Sikkim flash floods, with 27 more dead bodies found in the Teesta river bed in neighbouring West Bengal over the last three days. Seven of these bodies have been identified. All bridges downstream to the Teesta-V hydropower station have been submerged or washed out, disrupting communication to North Sikkim. For the Centre and state getting stranded tourists out of north Sikkim is a priority. Saurabh Gupta and GD Shankar report.
