Teesta flowing above danger level
While all other rivers were flowing below their danger level, only the Teesta in the north was flowing 37cm above red mark Saturday morning. But the river swelled by onrush of water from upstream may calm down from Saturday afternoon, said an official of the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre. The Teesta fed by rushing water from the upstream after the barrage at Gazaldoba, opened across the border, has flooded some low-lying areas, since Friday night. The situation was likely to get normal from Saturday afternoon, he pointed out.
