In Kurseong, the parliamentarians paid their respects at the Sakya Kunga Shedrubling Monastery and held a meeting with the Tibetan residents there.

They then proceeded to Sonada, where they visited the Sambhota Tibetan School and paid their respects at the Kague Samdup Dhargyal Choeling Monastery. The MPs also visited the Regional Tibetan Freedom Movement (BRDL), the Tibetan Cooperative Society, the Healthcare Centre, and the Settlement Office before conducting a public meeting and engaging in a Q&A session with the local community.
