In a statement, BJP Sikkim conveyed its profound gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for this timely and vital support. The assistance is expected to play a crucial role in Sikkim's redevelopment efforts, offering much-needed relief to affected regions, and rejuvenating infrastructure, economy, and communities.
BJP Sikkim highlighted that this move reflects the central government's dedication and responsiveness to Sikkim's pressing needs.
