BBC:
[Indian authorities are racing against
time to rescue people after flash floods
in the north-eastern state of Sikkim
left 102 people missing,

Fourteen people are known to have
died after a Himalayan glacial lake

been stranded in different parts of the state.

Hundreds of search and rescue personnel
have been deployed across the state.

he spoke to Chief Minister Prem Singh
Tamang on Wednesday and assured
