SKM  Shifts Displaced Families into Temporary Shelters -Before Festival

‘The rehabilitation initiative, “Mission Rebuild Rimbi,” was launched on October 3 following directives from President SKM Party and Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang (Golay). The mission was guided by the SKM Panchayat wing, led by Vice President Incharge and MLA Upper Burtuk  Kala Rai, alongside the SKM Organizational Wing, Lakpa Moktan (State level President Youth Wing), SKM Youth Wing,Chairpersons, Advisors,  OSDs, SKM Narishakti and SKM Frontal Organizations, Chalak Welfare Board, SKM Chalak Wing, volunteers, and local functionaries.

Over a 10-day sprint, party cadres and community volunteers constructed 13 temporary shelter units through dedicated Shramdaan (voluntary labor).

The Rimbi landslide, which initially triggered in August and took a destructive turn on the night of September 24, caused extensive property damage and displaced approximately 50 families. While victims had since been residing across various government and community relief camps, the swift handover ensures that affected families can now celebrate Dashain in secure, individual shelter units rather than crowded relief centers.
The shelter sheds were officially handed over to the beneficiary families by Advisor (DAC) and President of the SKM District Level Panchayat wing (Gyalshing), Ashok Pradhan. The handover took place in the presence of Chairpersons Shri Tashi T. Bhutia, Smt. Shanti Subba, and Shri Sanjay Dilpali Rai,with many others .
According to Ranjana Pradhan ,( Prez SKM Press & Publicity)The successful execution of Mission Rebuild Rimbi underscored the party’s grassroots responsiveness and commitment to standing by citizens during times of natural adversity.’
