He was accompanied by Director of Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority Prabhakar Rai, Additional Director Rajiv Roka and other departmental officials during this visit.

According to the information, the inspection started from Fidang, where a part of the safety wall on the river bank was found damaged. Along with this, the condition of the Fidang Bridge was also assessed. It was decided to repair the temporary bamboo bridge present here and build a new bridge for public use. A brief meeting was held at the SDM office of Chungthang, in which district and village panchayat members, ADC Development, SDM, SDPO, Medical Officer, BDO, Deputy Commandant of NDRF, and officials of concerned departments were present.
The Relief Commissioner interacting with the elected representatives and sub-divisional officers appealed to them to maintain patience and unity in the crisis and assured that the government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang, is taking all possible steps. He also informed that many tourists stranded in Lachen were successfully evacuated today by MI-17 helicopters of the Indian Air Force and the remaining tourists will be evacuated tomorrow if the weather is favorable.
