Organisations condole demise of Pro-Sikkim editor

GANGTOK, 06 Dec: Several organisations here have condoled the passing away of Pro-Sikkim editor, Tenzing Bhutia, in a road accident near Adampool yesterday.
Press Club of Sikkim has conveyed, “The Club feels that his demise is a great loss to the press and media fraternity in Sikkim. The Club also expresses its condolence to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace”.
Meanwhile, condoling the sudden demise, National Sikkimese Bhutia Organization [NASBO] has stated that Sikkim “has lost one of its faithful sons leaving an irreparable vacuum”.
A NASBO release expresses that Late Mr Bhutia was “always concerned about the ever diluting distinct identity and right of Sikkim and the Sikkimese people. This was reflected in his earlier writings and work in the weekly ‘Sikkimese’ and was reaffirmed when he launched Pro Sikkim only a week ago.”
“His other engagements and associations like the Denjong Lho-men Chog-du lend much to preserve the distinct feature of the Sikkimese,” the release adds.
The All Sikkim Educated Self Employed and Unemployed Association [ASESEUA] has also condoled the demise of the editor.
An ASESEUA release states, “We had worked together many times and today we are feeling his absence” and adds that his demise is a great loss to the land of Sikkim and the Sikkimese people.
“We are with the bereaved family of Late Mr Bhutia in offering prayers for the departed soul”, the release further expresses.
