Ferry ghat owner suspected of poisoning 10 monkeys with pesticide-laced bananas
Heavy rains in Sikkim have caused the Teesta river to swell, resulting in severe flooding that washed away roads and bridges, exacerbating the flood situation in the state. Local residents have been evacuated to safer shelters as a precautionary measure. In response to the crisis, Indian Army engineers swiftly constructed a 150-foot-long footbridge over the Teesta river to restore connectivity to affected villages.
The footbridge, completed in less than forty-eight hours, showcases the technical prowess of the Indian Army engineers who worked tirelessly in adverse weather conditions. The construction of the bridge has provided crucial access for residents cut off by the flooding, ensuring essential supplies and assistance can reach them effectively.
