Incessant rains in Sikkim, tourists stranded

Gangtok, Oct. 12 (PTI): Incessant rains and resultant landslides in the Himalayan state of Sikkim left 200 tourists stranded and also affected piped water supply to the capital town of Gangtok, officials said on Wednesday. The heavy rains have damaged NH-10 that connects the rest of the country via Siliguri to Gangtok at 19 and 20 Mile between Singtam in East district and Rangpo in Pakyong district blocking a lane of the main highway that links Sikkim to West Bengal, officials said. The rains are set to continue and the met department has issued a red alert in the Himalayan state and warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall due to an upper air trough stretching from east Uttar Pradesh to Arunachal Pradesh across Bihar, sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Assam. There were reports of heavy rains in neighbouring north Bengal and Bhutan too. Officials here said the water supply in Greater Gangtok has been hit by a major landslide at Ratey chu which damaged the pipe lines, officials said. Public H
