A major landslide occurred on the National Highway 10 on Friday morning blocking the Sikkim-Darjeeling route.

Commuters were stuck as the highway got blocked after large amounts of debris and rocks fell on the road.

Kalimpong is witnessing heavy rainfall from the past two days and due to the rise in river water, the roads in the area are also affected. (ANI)
