The Dudia Iron Bridge, which connects Mirik and Kurseong, broke apart, cutting off key roads. Landslides were also reported near Hussain Khola on National Highway 110. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for North Bengal, warning of extremely heavy rain in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar, and Alipurduar till Sunday. Rivers like Teesta and Mal are flowing above danger levels, causing flood-like conditions. Several areas in Jalpaiguri’s Malbazar have been submerged under water. (PC: India Today)
