NEW DELHI: Sekurang-kurangnya 10 orang dilaporkan maut manakala 82 lagi hilang akibat banjir di negeri Sikkim di timur laut India.
Hujan lebat di Tasik Lhonak di utara Sikkim mengakibatkan peningkatan paras air di lembangan Sungai Teesta, lapor media tempatan.
Banyak jalan, jambatan, kenderaan dan bangunan dihanyutkan oleh arus deras.
"Sebanyak 22 anggota tentera telah dilaporkan hilang manakala 41 kenderaan tenggelam di bawah lumpur," kata seorang pegawai tentera.
Lebih 3,000 pelancong dari pelbagai bahagian India terperangkap di Sikkim dan ramai pekerja yang terlibat dalam projek empangan Teesta di kawasan Chungthang terkandas di terowong empangan itu, kata laporan tersebut.
Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Krisis Kebangsaan India (NCMC) di New Delhi pada Rabu meminta pemindahan mereka atas dasar keutamaan.
Tiga pasukan dari Pasukan Tindak Balas Bencana Kebangsaan (NDRF) telah dikerahkan untuk kerja-kerja bantuan dan menyelamat dengan lebih banyak lagi bersiap sedia, menurut satu kenyataan kerajaan India.
"Jumlah pasukan dan aset yang mencukupi Tentera Darat dan Tentera Udara sedang dikerahkan untuk membantu negeri dalam usaha menyelamat dan pemulihan," katanya.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?
Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
