Description: Fourteen people have lost their lives and over a hundred, including 22 soldiers, are still missing after a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood at the South Lhonak Lake ravaged the hill state of Sikkim. Water from the Teesta has broken through Sikkim's biggest hydel power dam and has wiped out everything, including large chunks of the arterial NH 10. Over 3,000 people, including tourists, are reportedly stranded. On Left, Right & Centre, we delve into Sikkim's topography and uncover how exactly one of Sikkim's worst natural disasters in recent history unfolded.
