On November 10 and 11, armed groups opened fire near Yaingangpokpi and other villages, injuring civilians and security personnel.
The TLD-IV Power Station of the NHPC organised a free medical camp at the Samthar High School, Samthar, Kalimpong District, on 20 January. The camp was organized in association with Paramount Hospital, Siliguri, and on the request of the local people there, NHPC officials said.
A team of doctors and paramedical staff from the hospital, along with NHPC’s Dr RK Gupta, Dy CMO, and his paramedical team, checked patients at the camp.
