The Travel Agent's Association of Sikkim (TAAS) has decided to set up a dedicated team that will have members with well-defined tasks to carry out relief and rescue operations. British mountaineer Roger Payne was nominated as the advisor to the TAAS search and rescue team.The TAAS has always stood shoulder to shoulder with the Sikkim state government in rescuing injured or trapped tourists from high altitude areas of Dzongri in West Sikkim or in Tsomgo in thd East district.The association had recently air-lifted a Scottish woman who had fractured her leg while trekking in Dzongri.
