Siliguri: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today handed over relief materials for Nepal earthquake victims at the Indo-Nepal border in Darjeeling district.

She tweeted:
 
She also oversaw relief measures being taken in the wake of the devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake that hit the Himalayan country on April 25.

"There is scarcity of some things in Nepal which its government has sought from us. I am carrying those things," she told reporters at the airport before leaving from Kolkata.

Ms Banerjee had visited Siliguri on April 26, a day after the quake, to take stock of the damage in north Bengal.

North Bengal reported three deaths - one each in Jalpaiguri, Naxalbari and Siliguri due to the quake. Several injured have been admitted to a government hospital in Siliguri.
