Heavy monsoon rain across sub-Himalayan Bengal and in the neighboring state of Sikkim triggered fresh landslides that blocked roads, damaged cars, and halted the toy train service.
The rainfall also swelled some rivers in the Dooars eroded patches of land and flooded a few localities in the Alipurduar district. In Darjeeling, a landslide took place near the Loreto Convent School along 18th Lebong Cart Road. The debris damaged two vehicles parked nearby.
Another landslide was reported near the Darjeeling railway station. No casualties were reported from the sites. The rainfall also swelled the Teesta, which flooded the Kalimpong-Darjeeling Road via Peshok, halting traffic movement among the two hill towns.
In Kurseong town, four houses were damaged in different wards by landslides triggered by heavy rain. The incident prompted the board of administrators of the local civic body to appeal to the residents of the hill town not to carry out any construction during the monsoon.
