In this accident, the bodies of seven of the 22 soldiers missing from Bardang Army Cantonment in Pakyong district have been found.
Meanwhile, state Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang cornered the previous government over the accident that took place late on Tuesday night. He said that the situation became dangerous and uncontrollable after the cloudburst in Sikkim due to the construction of the dam using substandard material. The Chief Minister further said that this is why there has been a loss of life and property on such a large scale.
Dam made of poor material
After the cloud burst, the water of South Lhonak Lake rose and reached the Chungthang Hydroelectric Project Teesta Stage-3 Dam. The dam was made of poor-quality material, which could not handle the rising water. The Teesta River took a monstrous form when the water from the lake and the dam entered the river together. Let us tell you that after this accident about 142 people are missing. Sikkim government will give a compensation of Rs 4 lakh each to the relatives of the deceased. At the same time, it has been announced to provide financial assistance of Rs 2,000 each to those living in relief camps.
