A woman missing from West Sikkim was located and rescued in Delhi following the direct involvement of Sikkim Chief Minister P.S. Tamang.
The search for a woman who went missing from West Sikkim intensified after local families raised concerns about her disappearance. Authorities in Sikkim coordinated with the police in Delhi to trace her movements, but progress stalled until the state’s chief minister, P.S. Tamang, took personal interest in the case.
Mr. Tamang contacted Delhi officials, urging a swift and coordinated effort to locate the missing citizen. Within hours, a joint task force of Delhi police and Sikkim representatives identified the woman at a residential address in the capital.
The woman was escorted to the Indian embassy for verification and then handed over to Sikkim police, who arranged her safe return to her hometown. Both state and central officials praised the collaborative response, emphasizing the importance of inter‑state cooperation in missing‑person cases.
