Sikkim's Rimbi Village Faces Uninhabitability After Devastating Landslides
In a grave turn of events, Rimbi village in West Sikkim has suffered extensive damage due to flash floods and persistent landslides, with at least 32 houses and four government quarters affected. The fate of this village hangs in the balance as officials consider declaring it uninhabitable.
Residents are left to wonder: What measures were in place to prevent such disasters? Why did the government fail to protect this vulnerable community? With several structures, including wooden and semi-pucca homes, severely compromised, the urgency for accountability grows.
