GANGTOK, 16 Sept: Confrontations refuse to end at the All Sikkim Government Work Charged & Muster Roll Employees Association and within days of Ugen Lepcha emerging as a supposedly “consensus” new president of the association, following an embarrassing public confrontation between the two factions of the organization on Saturday, one of the group’s has challenged his appointment.
In a press release issued today, Padam Pandey, of the Pema Doma faction which claims to be the legally elected executive body of the association, admits that  the Saturday incident was ‘unfortunate’ and had defamed the entire Work-Charged and Muster Roll fraternity of the state.
He has extended his apologies to the State government and the Chief Minister for the unwarranted controversies. On behalf of his colleagues, he has also apologized to the senior officers of the Department of Personnel and Power and Energy who were invited in the said programme.
Through the press release, Mr. Pandey has urged all members of the association to come under one banner.
