The
Sikkim Helicopter Post was an innovative idea of popularising Postal Department
of North Bengal and Sikkim by Mr. John Samuel, the then Chief PMG. Though
this Sikkim Helicopter Post did not last long but it can be credited as an
pioneering effort at the small state of Sikkim. The launch of the Sikkim
Helicopter Post was carried at Helipad, near High Court, Gangtok.
