Six dead after floods, landslides in India's northeastKOLKATA, June 14, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Six people were killed after heavy rain triggered flash floods and landslides in a remote corner of India's northeast, officials told AFP Friday. Senior state government official Gopinath Raha said flood waters from the Teesta river had also washed away roads and bridges, temporarily stranding more than 1,500 people. "The water level of the Teesta river surged past the danger mark on Thursday morning, causing severe damage on the roads and disrupting traffic," he told AFP. Sikkim's state disaster agency said rescue operations were underway but damage to the local mobile phone network was hampering relief efforts. Flash floods along the river last year, triggered by a glacial lake bursting its banks, dealt extensive damage to roads and bridges across the state.
