GANGTOK, 07 Nov: Temi Tarku Tourism Development Committee (TTTDC) will organize a three-day Cherry and Tea Festival from 15 to 17 November at Temi Tarku, South Sikkim.
This was decided today at a meeting held at Temi Gram Vikash Kendra at Temi Bazaar. TTTDC publicity secretary MK Pradhan informed that the objective of the festival is to promote tourism in the area and will be organized every year from now onwards as an annual tourism festival. A committee was also constituted today for this purpose.
The meeting also condoled the sudden demise of former Secretary to the Government of Sikkim, Arun Kumar Pradhan and a two-minute silence was observed in his memory.
“We lost our mentor as he has contributed a lot in the development of tourism in Temi Tarku. The festival will be dedicated to the late Mr. Pradhan as he had conceptualized the idea of this festival. He had contributed a lot in encouragingthe local youth to adopt tourism as a profession and to capitalize on the natural beauty of the area,” said Mr. MK Pradhan.
