In North Sikkim, India, the Chungthang barrage (dam) of the Teesta river has been damaged, causing floods in Dimla of Nilphamari due to continuous rains and hill-slides. Incessant rain since Wednesday (October 4) has caused water to flow 20 cm above the danger level at the Teesta barrage point. Teesta water flowed 51.50 cm below the danger level at 3 pm on Thursday. As the water recedes, grass grows in some areas along the banks of the Teesta. At around 8 am on Thursday morning, residents of Dimla Upazila’s Khagakhribari Union, Khagakhribari Union, 1st Ward, Teesta River Area, Kisamat Chatnai Char, found a dead body and reported it to BGB.
