The Gyalshing administration returned to the landslide‑hit village of Rimbi for a second consecutive day to assess damage and coordinate relief efforts.
The district administration of Gyalshing made a second back‑to‑back visit to Rimbi, a village in West Sikkim that was recently struck by a landslide. Officials arrived early on the second day to continue their on‑ground assessment of the affected area.
During the visit, senior officers met with local residents to gather first‑hand information about the extent of damage to homes, roads and essential services. The team also inspected the stability of the slope and coordinated with disaster‑relief agencies to ensure that emergency supplies reach those in need.
The administration emphasized that relief operations remain a priority and that further assessments will guide the deployment of additional resources. No casualties or injury figures were disclosed in the briefings, and authorities urged villagers to stay clear of unstable zones until the area is declared safe.
