Tung (North Sikkim), Sep 23: With rescue teams facing difficulties to reach some farflung quake-hit areas in Sikkim, hundreds of survivors are trekking out of their cut-off villages, crawling sometimes to negotiate dangerous stretches.
Hundreds of villagers from inaccessible higher areas of Lachung, Lachen and Chungthan have gathered here after an arudos trek down and are being taken to safe places.
Army sources said hundreds of villagers reached Tung, 10 km from Chungthang, one of the worst-hit areas, and many were still trekking down from remote areas of Lachen, Lachung and Chungthang.
