Put basic amenities before beautification: BJP Sikkim

GANGTOK, 03 Jan: Bharatiya Janta Party state-unit president, Padam Chettri today stated that bazaars across the state are in need of basic amenities instead of beautification works.  

Mr Chettri was speaking to media persons today on the Rhenock fire incident.

“Rhenock, an old and important bazaar of Sikkim still does not have a fire station despite major fire incidents in the past”, he said and demanded that a fire station be set up in Rhenock at the earliest.

He also demanded for a proper enquiry into the incident and the cause of the fire.

Claiming that firefighters from Kalimpong reached Rhenock earlier than the team from the Rangpo fire station, Mr. Chettri demanded that this aspect also be enquired into.
