As per a legend, the village is one of the seven hidden treasures of Mayel Kyong Yel. One has to walk at least 2 to 3 hours through dense forest and difficult terrain to reach the village. The Minister while interacting with the people asked all the officers to extend all possible help and services to make the village self-reliant and self-sufficient.
On behalf of the people, Mika Lepcha a social worker placed the demand of the people to the Minister and briefed him on various problems faced by the village people. He further said that due to lack of exposure to the outer world the villagers have remained ignorant of day-to-day happenings and appealed to the Minister to send them on a religious tour within Sikkim. He further urged the house that the only Chorten where the people perform religious rituals and prayers was damaged by the 2011 earth quake and restoration has not been possible due to lack of funds. He appealed to the Minister and DC (N) to grant some funds for repairs. The day’s tour rounded off with the vote of thanks delivered by the concerned ward Panchayat.
