Monsoon menace causes inconvenience
MUKESH SHARMA
Kalimpong,
July 15:
Though
it is opined that the rainfall this year is lesser as compared to last years’
monsoon still much landslides are triggered every alternate day in the
Darjeeling hills. Only today, due to the overnight downpour landslide occurred
at 2 places along the National Highway (NH) 31A further causing road blockade
for almost around 3 hours.
The landslide occurred at the spots where the
road widening work by the GREF is at full swing i.e. at Kali Jhora and Riyang.
The commuters going towards Siliguri were compelled to pay double fares by
travelling through lava via Gorubathan due to the blockade. Even the daily
newspapers which used to be delivered early morning in the town got delivered
by 12 noon
