Former footballer Bhaichung Bhutia said on Monday said that they have started a relief campaign on Sunday named 'Play for Teesta' to raise some funds so that it can be sent to the people affected by the flood in Sikkim.
The search for the 16 Army men continues. Meanwhile, the Indian Army is providing assistance in terms of food and medical facilities and extending communication facilities to civilians and tourists stranded in North Sikkim.
This comes after heavy rains lashed North Sikkim on Thursday night, which resulted to overflow of nearby rivers leading to the flash flood that engulfed the highway.
