Pakyong, Oct 5: The walls of Sikkim’s Pakyong Greenfield airport, the only airport in the state, have been damaged by the incessant rainfall.

According to the locals, the wall had been showing sludge for days before, but the same has now been aggravated following Tuesday night’s cloudburst in the state.

Locals also fear that if the walls were to be breached, the devastation downhill across the villages of Challamthang, Pacheykhani, and Rorathang connecting Sikkim alternatively with West Bengal through Kalimpong Hills could also get cut off.

Meanwhile, at the time of filing this report, the airport officials couldn’t be reached for any comment.

It must be noted that a cloudburst over Lhonak Lake in North Sikkim resulted in a flash flood in the Teesta River in Lachen Valley on Wednesday. At least 14 people died and more than 100 people went missing after the cloudburst in the hilly state.
