With start of model code, co-terminus appointments ended

GANGTOK, 15 Apr: The appointment of Tshering Wangdi Lepcha as Chairperson, Primitive Tribe Welfare Board has been revoked by the state government. Mr Lepcha had tendered his resignation as Chairperson of the Board on 05 March, the day it was required with the announcement of election dates.
It needs to be highlighted here that the government had revoked the appointment orders of all advisors to the government as well as chairpersons to public sector units as soon as the model code of conduct came into operation on 05 March. Around 15 Advisors and 13 Chairpersons ended their tenure with the start of the code of conduct and all government facilities also accordingly withdrawn.

Also, the appointment of members of the state planning commission was also revoked by the state government following the coming into operation of the model code of conduct. The revoking of their appointment and withdrawal of government facilities to them were only for the period during which the model code of conduct is in operation. In fact, also removed were all those staff appointed on co-terminus basis to all advisors and chairpersons.
