The Sikkim State Legal Services Authority has announced legal aid for 57 families displaced by recent landslides in Rimbi.
The Sikkim State Legal Services Authority (SLSA) has confirmed that it will provide legal assistance to 57 families who were displaced by recent landslides in the Rimbi region.
The landslides, which struck the area earlier this year, forced many residents to abandon their homes and seek temporary shelter elsewhere. The affected families now face challenges in securing compensation, rebuilding property, and navigating related legal procedures.
SLSA’s intervention aims to help the displaced families file claims, obtain necessary documentation, and represent their interests in any compensation or rehabilitation processes.
The authority’s decision underscores the state’s commitment to supporting vulnerable communities in the aftermath of natural disasters.
