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.
