The recent disaster which has struck our brothers and sisters at Sikkim has struck my people at the Darjeeling hills and in Kalimpong also. The sensitive chicken's neck area of West Bengal has been affected. From the night of the flashflood occurrence, I have been working 24×7 with my entire administration to save people from further distress, and have rushed in all help, including Rs. 25 crore assistance to GTA in the hills. Ministers and senior IAS officers have been dispatched and teams are on spot even now. We have helped and will help the Army authorities and the Sikkim Government in all ways, and will work with the people of Sikkim shoulder to shoulder. But I am stunned by the central discrimination against our affected people of Darjeeling and Kalimpong and North Bengal, despite the gravity of disaster and number of deaths there too. We are not beggars and we are certainly for Sikkim, but we want equality of treatment and non- discrimination in matters relating to central help in disaster management.
