The state government of Sikkim demands a separate Sikkim circle.

Presently, Sikkim is a Business Area (BA) within West Bengal circle. It is reliably learnt that, recently the Chief Minister of Sikkim has met Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Minister of Communications and has demanded circle status for Sikkim. The Chief Minister is reported to have mentioned via Twitter that, the Hon’ble Minister of Communications has accepted his demand. Whether Sikkim will be become a separate circle or not, has to be waited and seen.
