West Sikkim: At least four people have died and three remain missing following a landslide in Upper Rimbi under the Yangthang Constituency in West Sikkim, officials said.

The landslide struck at midnight, killing three individuals on the spot. A rescue operation involving police, local villagers, and Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel managed to evacuate two injured women by constructing a temporary tree-log bridge over the flooded Hume River.

The women were immediately transferred to the District Hospital. Despite the efforts, one of the women succumbed to her injuries during treatment, while the other remains in critical condition.

Three people are still reported missing as rescue teams continue their search in the affected area, SP Geyzing, Tshering Sherpa, said.
