Sikkim Bhraman demands compiled, to be submitted in Assembly today

GANGTOK, 29 Aug: In the words of officials, Tuesday will be a ‘unique’ day in the Sikkim Assembly. This, because, for the first time in the history of Assembly proceedings will public demands be placed before the House in their ‘raw’ form along with their phase-wise implementation projections.
While the Sikkim Bhraman exercise of the Chief Minister is still one district short from being over, the State government has decided to place all public demands submitted to the Chief Minister during his tour of the state before the Sikkim Assembly. The North District will not be left out as, it is informed, public demands from the district have already been solicited through the MLAs and will be included in the compilation.
These public demands have been compiled into humungous tomes which run into 3 volumes per district.
The demands placed before the chief minister have been incorporated in the volumes in their original form, that is, as they were put to the CM, some in Nepali and some in English. Officials inform that apart from compiling the demands of the public in volumes in book-form, the State government has also compiled a phase-wise implementation schedule of the various demands of the public.
It is informed that the implementation will be done in phases and completed within a time frame of three years. The phase wise implementation of the various demands has been categorized according to the departments concerned under which the particular works relate to.
The Foreword is informed to have been written by the Chief Minister himself.
It is also informed that petty individual demands have been left out and only those with community and societal impact have been incorporated in the volumes. Copies of the various volumes will be distributed among the MLAs in the Assembly tomorrow, it is informed. These will also be dispatched to the respective panchayats for further dissemination among the people; the idea being that this record will allow for the people to keep track of the commitments.
The compiling of such a huge amount of material along with their department wise categorization and phase-wise implementation schedule deserves commendation.
