Huge landslide en route Gangtok
We encountered a huge landslide on our way to Gangtok from Siliguri. We were held up until a part of the read was cleared, so that vehicles can pass from a side.

Earthquake jolts Sikkim
I was very much tense and worried for Jaya and Babai. They were traveling to Gangtok. A severe earthquake rocked Sikkim on Sunday evening resulting in at least 20 deaths and injuries to several others. The earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter Scale which hit the east and Northeast region, was the biggest in 20 years. The epicentre of the quake was 64 km from Gangtok in Sikkim, causing major damages in the area. Aftershocks measuring 6.1 and 5.3 on the Richter Scale were also felt around Sikkim 20 minutes after the earthquake.
