Born just one year after Sikkim welcomed democracy and became the 22nd State of the Indian Union in 1975, SIKKIM EXPRESS is a faithful chronicler of this rapidly progressing Himalayan State.
Since 1976, SIKKIM EXPRESS is the first, oldest and widely read English daily of Sikkim. The publication has an unparalleled track record of 36 years of uninterrupted news service while constantly evolving to meet contemporary demands.
