Kolkata: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday warned of heavy to very heavy rains in some areas in the hills of north Bengal and Sikkim over the next five days.
Kalimpong received around 82 mm rain between Friday morning and Saturday morning.
Fresh landslides were reported from multiple points between 29th Mile and Likhuvir.
Landslides triggered by heavy rains in the second week of June in Sikkim had killed nine local villagers. Around 1,400 tourists were stranded in north Sikkim who were rescued later.
Even today, large parts of north Sikkim virtually remained cut off as the roads were damaged and bridges washed away in the landslides earlier this month.
