“Moving through mountainous terrain with thick jungles & undergrowth in challenging weather, the troops reached the 245 people stranded in the village of Rabom in North Sikkim. Self-contained for operations over a long duration, the troops shared food & medical aid with the stranded people,” an army press release stated.

Working 24/7 under inclement weather conditions, the brave soldiers of the Indian Army carved a 14.8-kilometre route & rescued 97 workers from the Kundan Hydro Power Project & 80–100 locals.

The troops have created a helipad in the village, created a safe foot track & continue to assist the stranded people of Rabom, Menshithang & Chubinbin.

Over 70 people were killed in devastating flash floods in Sikkim, which were triggered by a cloudburst that led to the swelling of the river Teesta on October 4, 2023.
