In the Indian state of West Bengal, the Darjeeling Hills have been devastated by landslides triggered by heavy rainfall, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 people. The region, often referred to as the "Queen of the Hills," has been particularly hard hit, with homes swept away and roads blocked. Rescue operations are ongoing, and the death toll is feared to rise. Meanwhile, in Nepal, landslides and floods have claimed the lives of at least 44 people, with villages being swept away by the relentless downpour. The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has expressed his condolences and offered assistance to Nepal. The North Bengal region remains on high alert due to the threat of a dam failure in Bhutan, further exacerbating the situation.
