New Delhi: A major landslide on Tuesday morning destroyed the power station of NHPC’s 510 MW Teesta Stage 5 dam in Sikkim’s Balutar, ANI reported.
The hill under the power station has been under threat for many weeks now with frequent minor slides.
However, on Tuesday morning, a major chunk of the hill slid down and destroyed the power station.
No casualties were reported due to slides in the past. The power station was evacuated days ago, according to ANI. However, workers working close by at the power station recorded the landslide on their mobile phones.
The Stage 5 dam became defunct after the October 2023 Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) across the Teesta River Basin. The dam, which was destroyed in the ensuing flash flood overflow was being reconstructed.
