Two landslides struck Karmatar and Upper Bullung areas of West Sikkim, prompting the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) to launch a rescue operation and evacuate residents from a house located above one of the slide zones, officials said on Tuesday.
A landslide occurred beneath a local school in Karmatar village around 10.20 am on Monday, officials said.
The slide was spotted from the SSB's 'G' Company post at Intake, following which a disaster rescue team was mobilised to the affected area.
There were no casualties or injuries, officials said.
In coordination with the civil administration and local residents, the rescue team evacuated people from a residential house directly above the landslide zone as a precautionary measure.
Another landslide was reported at Upper Bullung after locals alerted the SSB. The debris blocked a road, officials said.
The SSB company commander and the sub-divisional magistrate visited the affected area and assessed the situation.
The road remains blocked to vehicular traffic, but no casualties or property damage have been reported, officials said.
Heavy earth-moving machinery has been requisitioned to clear the debris and restore traffic movement.
