GANGTOK, 10 Jan: Sikkim Bachao Abhiyan [SBA] constituted a new 15-member working committee under the presidentship of former DSP, Jeewan Pradhan, at a meeting held here at Deorali today.
The new committee has Cholang Bhutia as vice-president, Deepak Limboo as general secretary, Manoj Rai as joint secretary, Suresh Gurung as treasurer and Yuwaraj Gurung as publicity secretary along with nine executive members.
An SBA press release informs that the committee headed by Mr Pradhan sought to induct new faces to work for the group by given them official posts. The release adds that new committee has resolved to start a state-wide public interaction mission soon and will be organizing open meetings during Haats in West and South Sikkim.
