Tashiding group condemns denial of permission to screen documentary on Bhum Chu at Tashiding


GANGTOK, 09 March: The Tashiding Bumchu Sunkyob Chogdu, in a press release issued by Pema Jyungne today, has condemned the West District Administration’s refusal to grant permission to “like-minded younger local people of Tashiding in connivance with Save Sikkim” to screen a documentary film on Bhumchu at Tashiding on the eve of the ceremony. Save Sikkim, it may be recalled is protesting the Tashiding hydel project.
The release, while thanking the organising committee for the successful hosting of the Bhum Chu ceremony, has lashed out against what it sees as denial of permission on “unwarranted grounds” by the West District administration.
“It is very unfortunate on the part of the West District Administration to have denied the devotees and participants their fundamental right to information and religion. We considered it as a disgraceful and shocking act of DC/West,” the release states.
