Mangan, April 24 -- A massive landslide has occurred at Munshithang on the Lachen Chungthang road and Lema/Bob on the Lachung Chungthang road in North Sikkim. The region is experiencing continuous heavy rainfall, which has made the roads inaccessible at night.

Although the road to Chungthang is open, the heavy rain has made it unsafe for nighttime travel. As a result, permits for North Sikkim will not be issued tomorrow, and all advanced permits issued have been deemed cancelled.

Sonam Dechu Bhutia, Superintendent of Police, Mangan district, North Sikkim, announced the cancellation of permits due to the challenging weather conditions and roadblocks caused by the landslide.
