Sikkim flash floods: Travel sector stares at losses as vacationers cancel puja bookings
Friday, 6 October 2023 The tourism sector in Sikkim is facing significant losses as tourists from West Bengal cancel or reschedule their bookings due to the recent Teesta flash flood. The Sikkim government has decided to stop permits for visiting popular tourist places, and tourists are being advised to postpone their travel until the situation improves. Tour operators and hoteliers are receiving numerous inquiries from anxious tourists, many of whom are requesting cancellations and refunds. The industry is urging tourists to consider visiting East or West Sikkim if the situation does not improve by the Durga Puja festival.
In the aftermath of devastating flash floods in Sikkim, search and rescue operations are in full swing as the Indian Army, alongside NDRF teams, grapples with the challenging task of locating missing individuals and providing aid to those stranded.
