GYALSHING, 02 July: The torrential rain over the past few days has been proving troublesome for the Road & Brideges department in West Sikkim with the excessive rainfall having caused landslides in several places blocking the roads and bringing traffic to a standstill.
The Gyalshing-Legship road has been closed for the past couple of days due to a landslide at Tatopani. The concerned department is trying its best to clear the road but their efforts are going in vain due to the excessive downpour which has kept the slide active and dangerous.
Commuters meanwhile are taking the longer route via either Rabongla or Dentam to reach their desired places outside the district. The Legship-Gyalshing road which remains the most convenient for commuters but which is also currently the most beset with disruptions needs to be restored at the earliest.
The landslide at Tatopani is not new and gets triggered every monsoon.
