Heavy rainfall has triggered landslides and debris flows across multiple areas of Gangtok, prompting the Sikkim administration to begin mapping the extent of the damage. The adverse weather has affected several localities, raising concerns over public safety and infrastructure.

Officials are currently surveying the affected zones to identify damaged roads, properties and vulnerable slopes. The exercise is aimed at preparing a detailed damage report and planning immediate relief and restoration measures.
