| ADVISORY |
The met department has issued heavy rain warning in up coming day due to which it seem that the water level will rise so we take the responsibilities to take all the affected family to safer place added Mukhia.
Though the 6 days of rain has troubled
the Kalimpong Sub Division but until now no untoward news has been reported.
What is of concern is that we have had deficient precipitation in the whole of June 2013 and first week of July and rainfall normally peaks in July and August before starting
to decline in September. Not surprisingly, many of the major
landslide disasters have taken place late in the monsoon season told Praful Roy
founder of Save The Hills .
