GANGTOK, 03 Dec: Chief Minister Pawan Chamling announced free electricity for the people of Dzongu, Chungthang, Lachen and Lachung once the Teesta Stage III hydel project in North Sikkim is completed.
He was addressing the people of North Sikkim here at Sichey while inaugurating the community house Yul Dru Sum for Lachen, Lachung and Chungthang.
The Chief Minister took on the opposition parties today countering their various allegations against hydel projects as untrue and baseless. On allegations of politicizing the Karmapa issue, he said that the State government has consistently pursued the matter with the Centre.
“The Karmapa issue is related to international and national security and we have been putting all efforts to convince the Centre to allow him into Sikkim,” he stated. He further informed that the state government has sought an appointment with the Prime Minister and Union Home Minister sometime in January next year and a high level delegation including the monk bodies would press for permission to be granted for Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje’s visit to Sikkim.
SDF will not engage in politics based on religion and will fulfill commitments made to the public, said Chamling.
