People walk along a street as a jeep is buried in the mud due to the flood at Teesta Bazaar in Kalimpong District, West Bengal, India October 4, 2023. "We are waiting for weather conditions to improve as only then air force and other rescue teams could venture into the flood-hit areas," said V.B.Pathak, the state's chief secretary. Hundreds of search and rescue personnel have been deployed across Sikkim and in the northern parts of the neighbouring West Bengal state. A key highway that linked Sikkim with Siliguri in West Bengal also collapsed due to the floods. Local lawmakers were looking at whether trekking routes could be used to reach disaster-hit areas, said Bandana Chettri, a spokeswoman for the state's tourism ministry.

NEW DELHI, April 3 (Reuters) - The Indian government is considering selling state-owned NTPC Ltd's (NTPC.NS) two hydro power firms to NHPC Ltd (NHPC.NS) to create a single hydro power company that would improve efficiency and cut costs, power minister R K Singh told Reuters. One large hydro power company would help meet high demand at night when solar projects do not run, he said. We are thinking whether these hydro companies can come together as a hydro large PSU. Then it becomes a specialised hydro company," Power and Renewable Energy Minister Singh said in an interview on Monday. The power ministry's proposal to create a single company is aimed at better management and expertise, besides reducing costs and managing related challenges.
