We are sad to share the the news that a landslide has occurred in one of the most well known places in Darjeeling town.
The slide which happened above LC school besides the famous TUCK SHOP and BHOLA's ALU DOKAN... a cause of grave worry.
Thankfully so far, no one has been injured and all the passengers from the vehicle that tumbled have been retrieved safely
Clogged drain (nali) seems to have acted as a triggering point, as the slide was likely caused due to massive rain water flowing into the side as the main drain (nali) in the neighbourhood seems to have been blocked for a while.
As we report this, local youths are trying to open up the blocked drain.
