According to the search results, Sikkim has recently experienced severe flooding due to heavy rainfall and a glacial lake overflow. The floods have caused significant damage to infrastructure, washed away houses and bridges, and forced thousands of people to leave their homes. As of October 29, the death toll has risen to 75, with dozens still missing. The Indian army has been involved in search and rescue operations, and helicopters have been deployed to airlift affected individuals. Relief efforts have been set up, including 26 relief camps for those affected by the floods. The floods have also caused road connectivity issues, hindering rescue operations. The weather department reported that Sikkim received 101mm of rain in the first five days of October, more than double normal levels, unleashing floods worse than one in October 1968 in which an estimated 1,000 people were killed.
