China-Sikkim Video(1960's)

I found a very interesting video that revels the military tension on the border between Sikkim and China during the reign of King Palden Thondup Namgyal somewhere around in 1960's.Those days India controlled Sikkim's Defence! The interesting part of video is that it contains the interview of King Namgyal.The King talks about the Sikkim-China issue and also his concern about the possible Chinese trouble to Sikkim in future.King assumes that Chinese wish to tie down Indian troops away from the Pakistan border

The Second Video shows about Sikkim's preparation to strengthen its "Internal Security".Schoolchildren (at the Scottish Mission) are taught air raid drill and where adults appear disaffected with their ruler and resentful of their Indian protectors.The School shown in the video is presently Plajor Namgyal Girl's School,Gangtok(if i am wrong please correct me!).

The video is really informative and interesting!
Please do comment!





Emergency Telephone Numbers


Many countries' public telephone networks have a single emergency telephone number, sometimes known as the universal emergency telephone number or occasionally the emergency services number, that allows a caller to contact local emergency services for assistance. The emergency telephone number may differ from country to country. It is typically a three-digit number so that it can be easily remembered and dialed quickly. Some countries have a different emergency number for each of the different emergency services; these often differ only by the last digit.The Emergency Numbers in India are:-

Police:100
Medical:102,108,104
Fire:101
Traffic police - 103.
112 from any GSM handsets are redirected to the local emergency number.
