Ramthang-Tanek GPU public express displeasure over proposed shifting of upcoming food go-down

MANGAN, 25 July: The panchayats and public of Ramthang-Tanek GPU under Kabi-Lungtsok constituency in North Sikkim have opposed the recent proposal to change the location of the upcoming food go-down from Dikchu New Market, North district to Jang Village in East District.
The Department of Food & Civil Supplies had proposed to construct the new food go-down at Dikchu New Market in North Sikkim which falls under Tanek ward of Ramthang-Tanek GPU where the food go-down was already operating out of a rented house.
Panchayat president, Ramthang-Tanek GPU, Kado Lepcha informed that the Department had already acquired land for the construction of food go-down in Dikchu New Market. Further adding that since the go-down had already been operating in the market for the past many years, he requested the department to construct the food go-down at the same place.
He also added that constructing the go-down elsewhere would cause inconvenience to the people of North Sikkim including Dzongu, Thingchim-Mangshilla.
