The Trishakti Corps of the Indian Army has initiated an operation with the goal of reestablishing surface travel links in North Sikkim. This action is part of their comprehensive efforts to address the significant disruptions caused by recent flash floods, which resulted in damage to footbridges, roads, and various infrastructure in the region.

The Trishakti Corps troops are receiving support from various organizations, including the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), and local residents in the affected areas. They are working together to restore connectivity to isolated villages in the region.

The Trishakti Corps stated in a post that, ""In an endeavor to reconnect North Sikkim, Indian Army troops of Trishakti Corps, along with BRO, ITBP, and local residents, are conducting extensive operations to restore connectivity. They are constructing new footbridges and carrying out restoration work to reconnect Sikkim.""

The primary focus of these operations is on restoring connectivity to North Sikkim via Chungthang, which was the area most severely impacted by the destructive flood that occurred following landslides, according to earlier statements from the Indian Army.

00:00 Now this press conference has been especially organized to make the central government
00:07 focus on the state of affairs in Sikkim. What we are facing in Sikkim is unprecedented.
00:17 The damage is unprecedented. The loss in connectivity is unprecedented. Thousands
00:24 of people have been displaced. Many have died. Many are living in relief camps.
00:30 Chiptang, the people are in severe distress. Connectivity towards the border areas of India
00:38 have been lost. This opens up an issue of strategic security. It puts our border security at risk.
00:49 At such a time, when there are foreign elements across our border, we cannot afford
00:56 any of our border areas to be vulnerable, to be inaccessible to the Indian armed forces.
01:05 We urge the central government to step up their aid. 44 crores is too small for the scale of
01:16 devastation in Sikkim. We urge the central government to send a senior cabinet minister
01:25 to review the situation. In such a situation, it would have been apt for the union home minister
01:35 to visit Sikkim. It would have been ideal for a prime minister who can find time to campaign in
01:43 a Delhi municipal corporation election. It would have been normal to expect from such a prime
01:51 minister who campaigns in a municipal election to visit and survey the state of affairs in Sikkim.
01:57 Unfortunately, the prime minister is nowhere to be found. The home minister is nowhere to be found.
02:04 Another state in the northeast is facing severe devastation and people are in severe distress.
02:11 Another state in the northeast is seeing that the prime minister is absent. Our only hope is that,
02:18 like in 2011-12, when the earthquake hit Sikkim, the entire nation rallied together. The central
02:25 government, state government, ordinary people, we all rallied together to help the people of Sikkim
02:30 in need. Today is the time that we should do that because it is unprecedented. So with that, I
02:38 would like to close my opening remarks and if you have any questions, I'll be happy to take them.
02:44 Q. Congress Party always helps the people of Sikkim. Will Congress help its people in Sikkim as well?
03:06 A. This is in our DNA. We don't even need to say it. We are on the ground. We are trying to reach people.
03:20 But you also know that our demand is that today, dam engineers go, medical personnel go,
03:30 doctors go, NDRF forces go because choppers are needed, airdrops are needed. So we want to
03:38 help people personally. We will do that. But the delicate situation in today's date,
03:45 because it is connected to the border, it is connected to the international border, we cannot
03:50 let any fire come on even an inch of India's land. So in such an international environment,
04:00 which we are all familiar with, we should show our readiness and the Prime Minister who can
04:06 promote elections in the municipal election, India expects him to show in the Uttar Purwanshan
04:12 instead of tweeting. But like the Prime Minister is missing from Manipur, he is also missing from
04:19 Sikkim.
04:22 Q. There are more than 3000 people trapped in the Lachen and Lachung of Sikkim. The maximum
04:28 of them are tourists. As our guest asked, what will Congress do? Because you said that you
04:34 have no hope from the government. So what will Congress do?
04:37 A. How can 3000 tourists be saved in Lachen and Lachung? If we send choppers, send the
04:46 army, who can give instructions to these armies? Which department does the Home Minister
04:57 come under? The Home Minister who repeatedly says that I have a lot of attachment with
05:05 Uttar Purwanshan, I have toured Uttar Purwanshan according to the propaganda, I go there many
05:11 times. I have seen the people of Uttar Purwanshan, I have seen the people of Lachen, I have seen
