PTI, June 28, 2026, Gangtok : A key bridge in north Sikkim’s Dzongu was washed away due to heavy overnight rainfall, disrupting road connectivity in the region, officials said on Sunday.
Movement on the Phidang to Sankalang stretch was affected after the bailey bridge over Phee Khola was washed away on Saturday night following incessant rain, they said.
Senior officials, including the sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) of Mangan and local panchayat representatives, have reached the site to assess the extent of the damage.
“A detailed inspection is underway,” an official said.
Continuous downpour has also caused extensive damage in the Upper Kaw Khola area of Lingee in south Sikkim, he said.
An IMD bulletin said heavy to very heavy rainfall lashed one or two places in Sikkim, while light to moderate rainfall occurred in most parts of the Himalayan state in the past 24 hours till 8.30 am on Sunday
