GANGTOK, 27 Nov: Sikkim Police celebrated its 117th Raising Day at the Sikkim Police Headquarters today by donating blood, inauguration of Sikkim Police Cafeteria and holding a musical programme cum Band display at MG Marg in the evening.
The day’s programme started with a blood donation camp held at the police headquarters, where around 40 police personnel of the State Reserve Lines and some senior police officers including Dr MS Tuli [DIG, Range] and Prawin Gurung [senior SP, Lines] donated blood. Doctors from the Blood Bank, STNM Hospital were present to oversee the blood donation camp.
The blood donation camp was followed by the inauguration of the cafeteria/canteen at the premises of police headquarters by the DGP, Jasbir Singh, while also present were other senior police officers for the inauguration. The cafeteria has been built at a cost of Rs. 17 lakh.
The cafeteria with all modern facilities is basically meant for police personnel who have to work during odd hours and also for extended periods of time. The menu of the canteen takes care of all tastes. For the lower subordinate officers the canteen will provide fixed meal at the minimum possible rate of Rs.40 per meal.
The DGP then formally dedicated the Subsidiary Police Canteen located at the police headquarters [the facility established recently under the aegis of the Central Police Forces Canteen, Government of India] to all serving and retired members of the force and their families.
Under the scheme the canteen is providing all basic consumer goods and other household items at cheaper rates that is about 30% to 40% cheaper than the market rates. It is similar to the facility being provided by the Indian Army through CSD canteens. This facility is also being extended to State Armed Police and India Reserve Battalion in various locations.
To mark the occasion the Sikkim Police Band organized an entertainment programme for the general public and tourists at MG Marg from 4.30 p.m.
