More than 900 tourists and locals were rescued by the Indian Army after getting stranded in heavy snowfall and extreme cold conditions in East Sikkim.
The Trishakti Corps led the mission, focusing on spots like Nathula, Baba Dham at Sherethang, and Changu (Tsomgo) Lake.
They also helped move more than 300 vehicles, most of them packed with tourists.
Army provides shelters and medical aid
Beyond just getting people out safely, the Army set up temporary shelters at its camps to keep everyone warm and fed. Emergency medical help was provided too.
This whole effort is a reminder of how the Army looks out for people when tough weather hits high-altitude places like Sikkim.
