"The newly constructed bridge at Sangkalang, built after the Teesta Flood of October 4, 2023, collapsed on Thursday afternoon, leaving more than 1,500 tourists stranded in Lachung and Chungthang in North Sikkim… The collapse was anticipated as the foundation of the bridge had been reported as damaged by SP Mangan, who had warned of its imminent failure."

"As informed by Sankalang OP, the old bridge near Sangkalang O.P collided with the new bridge, resulting in the bridge collapsing." Unclear exactly how the old bridge collided with the new bridge but Patrick S. O'Donnell suggests: "The southeast concrete tower remnant is missing, thus perhaps its base was undermined in such a way that it toppled onto the new [2024] Bailey bridge - taking it out.
