The Chief Minister, while remembering the Late Prince, said that Gyalsey Kushon Jigdal Tsewang Namgyal was fondly remembered as Gyalsey Georgela who received his education at the most prestigious School of the Country and was a brilliant student who majored with History honours. He was a man of the people who loved him profoundly for his simplicity and modesty. After completing his education, Prince Georgela became the first Development Commissioner of Sikkim and initiated various developmental works and made immense contribution in shaping the state in the right direction. His demise has created a huge void in the Sikkimese society, said the CM. He also prayed for the departed soul and expressed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
