Chief Minister Chamling urged the people to take active part in second phase of green mission in the state taking the lesson from past mistake

By himalayanreview
The Chief Minister's vision is to make Sikkim fully green and opt for eco-tourism as a sustainable development in the State. With this objective in his top agenda, Chief Minister Chamling started the second phase of the Green Mission by planting saplings at Aritar, East Sikkim, along with his wife, Tika Maya Chamling, on May 25. While addressing a mammoth gathering at Chintan Bhavan, Gangtok, on 26, Chief Minister Chamling urged all the State's people to actively and proactively participate in the State green mission. 

"All the ministers, MLAs, officers, employees, teachers, students, and the people must come forward to preserve the greenery in the state and make the mission fully successful, which will be a great contribution to the state and the future generation. He said that the green mission must be a precedent and tradition in the State, and the Government is determined to pass legislation and enforce it strictly to protect the environment in the State. 

He also said that the garbage and soil disposal due to the construction of houses and roads must be well managed, and the soil must not be spattered or collected sixes and sevens. The beauty of the town must not be destroyed by hanging cable and telephone wires at random, he added, and warned if such a thing were repeated, the proper action would be taken against the guilty. He reaffirmed to the people that they must inculcate the habit of planting saplings and growing trees on their land because it is just like saving money in the bank. Chief Minister said that the popular natural lake Tsomo or Changu Lake is on the verge of drying away and warned that if proper treatment is not given to its condition, it may dry away within two years. He said that based on past experience, the green mission's second phase must be successful.

Standing next to Denzong Queen Mother is the senior Rakasha Lhachamkusho, daughter of Raja Tsodrak Namgyal Taring of Sikkim, the eldest son of Chogyal Thutop Namgyal, who gave up the Sikkimese throne to his younger brother Sir Chogyal Tashi Namgyal in favour of staying in Tibet.  The Taring family of Tibet enabled into Tibetan high society by the great 13th Dalai Lama, is legitimately the unbroken elder line of the Royal Namgyal lineage of Sikkim, since Raja Tsodrak Namgyal was the Crown Prince of Sikkim, and his sons and grandsons today go by the Taring family name. Standing in the picture is also Princess Kukula, sister of the Chogyal married to the Phuenkhang family of Tibet.  Rakasha Tsetop, Rakasha Tseten, Yap Dr. Paljor, Soden Wangdi, Chimi ...

April 2,1973 and the downfall of Namgyal Dynasty in Sikkim

By himalayanreview
Today holds a special place in the history of Sikkim as it was on this day that mass agitation against the Chogyal rule took off, which led to the downfall of the monarchy rule in Sikkim.  The agitation was a result “ due to serious differences which ensued with the demand of repoll in one booth by Kazi Lhendup Dorji and Mr. Krishna Chandra Pradhan, as such the Chogyal had to face the people's agitation launched by the Joint Action Committee with the tacit blessings of the Government of India.  This people's political movement, spearheaded by Kazi Lhendup Dorji, finally resulted in Sikkim joining the mainstream as the 22nd State of India in 1975 (sikkiminfo.net)". I was going through an article, " Lesson of Democracy from Sikkim, " by Carleton Cole, that recapitulates the movement of the April 73 Agitation.   Cole writes, " In April 1973, after making allegations that a round of elections had been rigged in favor of the Bhutia, thus making ethnic Nepali...
