Parts of South Sikkim were hammered by an intense
hailstorm late Thursday afternoon. For a second straight afternoon, the
district was pummeled by hail so hard that traffic was brought to a standstill
as much because of the hailstones crashing down as for these getting congealed
on the roads and making the surface dangerously slick and slippery. Traffic on
the Namchi-Damthang axis for instance was held up for close to six hours and
vehicles could move only after excavators were pressed into service to bulldoze
the ice away from the roads.
