In a remarkable feat of engineering and determination, the Indrani Bridge in Sikkim has been reinstated, reconnecting the North Sikkim to the rest of India.
Speaking to media persons, Sikkim police DIG Tashi Wnngyal said, "Today, the weather was good and we have rescued 430 people and helped them to come down to safe place. More than 200 people were airlifted and more will be done if weather permits."
At least 60 people have died and 80 remain missing in the devastating flash floods in Sikkim, which was triggered by glacial burst on the South Lhonak lake on Wednesday morning.
The expedition is planned to be completed in the month of September. It also serves as a means for the Indian Army to train its military personnel to handle diverse challenges with precision and skill.
