Kalzang Welfare Assoc seconds scrap hydel projects on Rathong Chu demand


GANGTOK, 07 Dec: The Kalzang Welfare Association of Tashiding in West Sikkim has also joined the ongoing debate over hydro-power projects on the Rathong Chu in West Sikkim. In a press release issued by its president today, the association has called upon the State Government “to kindly scrap all the anti-Buddhist Hydro electric project proposed over sacred Rathongchu River and declare the entire stretch of Yuksam-Tashiding-Pemayangtse, the interior Bayul Dremo Jong, as Project/Human activity free zone in ensuring preservation and protection of the sacredness of the same”.

The association and the residents of Tashiding request the Government of Sikkim led by the Chief Minister to scrap all the proposed Hydro-power projects to be commissioned over Rathong Chu river, the release expresses.
The release further expresses hope that the CM “would definitely yield to the demands being made by the Buddhist followers of Sikkim”.
