Sikkim Launches Donation Drive in Gangtok to Support Nepal

Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, witnessed the commencement of a donation drive aimed at gathering relief supplies for Nepal. Local volunteers and community groups gathered at a central venue in the city to coordinate the collection of essential items such as food, clothing and medical kits.
The initiative, promoted through local media and social networks, calls on residents, businesses and NGOs to contribute whatever they can. Organisers emphasized the urgency of the effort, noting recent challenges faced by Nepal following natural calamities.
Authorities from the Sikkim state administration have expressed support for the drive, offering logistical assistance and ensuring that the collected donations are dispatched to the appropriate relief agencies in Nepal.
The campaign is expected to run for several days, with periodic updates on the volume of contributions and the distribution plan.
Stakeholders hope that the collective response will strengthen the long‑standing ties between the two neighboring regions and provide timely assistance to those in need in Nepal.
