Siliguri, 05th October: The residents of the Teesta Bazar area are distressed due to the extensive destruction brought on by the flash flood in the Teesta River. Following a cloudburst-induced flash flood in Sikkim on Tuesday, several homes and businesses were destroyed.
It has to be noted that the occupants were unable to salvage their possessions since the region was submerged due to the abrupt rise in water levels.
