Heavy rains in West Bengal trigger landslides in Darjeeling: 13 die, houses destroyed

By -


West Bengal's Darjeeling region faced multiple landslides on Saturday after continuous heavy rainfall, disrupting traffic and daily life. 

Part of the hillside on the Mirik-Sukhiapokhari road collapsed destroying several houses. So far, thirteen people have died.

Raju Bista, BJP MP for Darjeeling, expressed concern over the damage caused by the rainfall and said that there have been multiple deaths.

The landslide has blocked the road, making it hard for rescue teams to help. Many nearby areas have lost communication, and an iron bridge in Mirik has collapsed. The Teesta River is overflowing due to the rain, which has completely cut off the highway connecting Siliguri to Sikkim and Kalimpong. Parts of Darjeeling city are also out of contact, and debris has covered a local market, burying some vehicles.

Cyclone Shakti is 420 km from Dwarka

Meanwhile, Cyclone Shakti has formed in the Arabian Sea and has become a severe storm. It is currently 420 km from Dwarka, Gujarat, with winds reaching up to 100 km per hour. The cyclone is expected to move west-southwest over the next day and may weaken as it moves northeast starting Monday.

The storm has raised sea levels in Gujarat and northern Maharashtra, prompting a cyclone warning for several districts, including Mumbai and Thane. Coastal areas may experience heavy rain and strong winds until October 7.

Authorities in Maharashtra have been advised to prepare for safety measures, including activating disaster management systems and planning evacuations in vulnerable areas. Fishermen are warned to avoid the Arabian Sea until October 7.

1) What do you think about Pushpa Impossible as a show and the character that you are playing? What was your reaction when you were approached? Pushpa Impossible is a show that encourages people from all genders to live optimistically, surviving against obstacles in front of them.

For a long time, I was engaged in negative roles, and I wished to do something positive like the current role of Dipti.  The character of Dipti is bright, mature and has clarity about life. I am happy about doing this character since her maturity really teaches me a lot about handling situations. Undoubtedly, I am growing as an actor in this role and more as...
