the Saturday's landslide further deteriorated the condition of the area. If the landslides occur more frequently, there is every possibility that the buildings can collapse any time. After much efford the raod was cleared a few days back, but the landslide which frequented made the restoration work more complicated. The area MLA and Minister Menlom Lepcha visited the spot and studied the gravity of the situation.
