Over 2,000 domestic and foreign tourists were stranded in North Sikkim due to a landslide following a flashflood since Thursday, officials said.<\/p>\n
The road from North Sikkim district headquarters Mangan to Chungthang has been blocked at Pegong Supply Khola, disrupting vehicular traffic, the officials said.<\/p>\n
As a result, 1,975 domestic and 36 foreign tourists were stranded at hotels in Lachen and Lachung areas – considered gateways to various places with scenic beauty.<\/p>\n
Of the foreign tourists, 23 are from Bangladesh, 10 from the US and three from Singapore.<\/p>\n
As many as 345 cars and 11 motorbikes were also stuck at various places in North Sikkim, the officials said.<\/p>\n
The road clearance works will begin once the rain stops, they added.
