In the aftermath of the devastating landslide that struck North Sikkim, the Indian Army is working relentlessly under extreme weather and hazardous terrain conditions to assist local residents and stranded tourists. Lachen village, the main hub for tourism in the region, has been completely cut off. The Army has established foot connectivity to the village and reached out to 113 stranded tourists, who will be evacuated soon. On 03 June 2025, 30 tourists, including some foreign nationals, were successfully airlifted by military helicopters.
