Teesta River: The Sorrow of Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills?

Welcome to The Cord!

The flood of October 2023 wreaked havoc, raising the riverbed by over 55 feet and causing severe destruction.

We also examine the potential solutions and the critical role of the central government in addressing this issue. Join us as we uncover the environmental crisis facing the Teesta River and its surrounding communities.
