Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicked off his Sikkim tour with a delightful football match alongside enthusiastic kids in Gangtok. Early Tuesday, in sporty attire, he joined the young locals for a fun session, promptly sharing vibrant snapshots on X.
‘Gangtok’s beautiful morning—nothing beats playing football with Sikkim’s tiny friends,’ he captioned one post. ‘Epic football time with these youths!’ read another. The photos reveal PM Modi in action: passing the ball, high-fiving children, and sharing laughs.
Touching down in Gangtok late Monday, his itinerary is brimming with events. Post-game, he’ll tour the Orchidarium and attend the closing ceremony of Sikkim’s 50th Statehood Day at Paljor Stadium. Expect inaugurations of projects exceeding ₹4,000 crore, covering roads, health, schools, electricity, cities, eco-efforts, tourism hotspots, and farming advancements—all geared toward balanced progress.
He’ll also launch indoor cricket arenas in Pakyong’s Mining Rangpo to foster sports among the youth. As Sikkim celebrates its golden year as a state, this trip highlights ongoing dedication to the Northeast’s vibrant future. Such candid engagements remind us of leaders who connect on a personal level.
