Industry body CII has also joined the relief work in the earthquake-hit Nepal and sent a team with food, water, medicines and other relief materials to Gorkha, the worst-affected district of the Himalayan nation.

A CII team comprising office-bearers and members of CII North Bengal and Young Indians (Yi) Siliguri chapter will reach the Gorkha area on May 2 to distribute the relief materials, a release said.

Gorkha, 380 km away from Siliguri, is amongst the worst affected area in Nepal's devastating earthquake where little relief has reached yet.

The relief materials will consist of 1 tonne dry food, 1,000 blankets, 500 tarpaulins, 200 mattress, medicines and mineral water bottles.

The release said CII has stepped up its relief work for the earthquake-hit victims in Nepal in close coordination with the Government of India and the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FNCCI).

A CII team has already handed over relief materials in Kakrivitta in the first phase.
