Gangtok, June 4 -- In the aftermath of the devastating landslide that struck North Sikkim, the Indian Army has been working relentlessly under extreme weather and hazardous terrain conditions to assist locals and stranded tourists.

Lachen village, the main hub for tourism in the region, has been completely cut off. The Army has established foot connectivity to the village and reached out to 113 stranded tourists, who will be evacuated soon.

On June 3, nearly 30 tourists, including some foreign nationals, were successfully airlifted by military helicopters.

Meanwhile, search operations continue with urgency to locate the six individuals still missing after the landslide struck a military camp in the Chatten area of North Sikkim.
