Building partially deconstructed for safety reason-fresh slip further complicated restoration work

By himalayanreview


The continuous rainfall further complicated the restoration work at recently hit area of Amdo Golai. The state authority has partially deconstructed the house of Shri Pratap Tiwari and others. The landslide hit Amdo Golai again resulting the massive damage and blockade on roads last Saturday. While the road from Amdo Golai was temporarily opened a few days back after the major landslides that led to evacuation of the people of five building, the Saturday's landslide further deteriorated the condition of the area. If the landslides occur more frequently, there is every possibility that the buildings can collapse any time. After much efford the raod was cleared a few days back, but the landslide which frequented made the restoration work more complicated. The area MLA and Minister Menlom Lepcha visited the spot and studied the gravity of the situation.

In between Tadong and Deorali of East Sikkim, Indira Bye-pass is situated, which starts right from Amdo Golai and joints the road at Sichey,District court and Palzor Stadium Road, Gangtok. Many private buildings have been built ever since Indira bye-pass road opened in late 1990. Owing to overgrowing traffic system, the bye-pass was constructed and opened but at the same time construction in and around the road at private land took place. Since a week ago, the rock near Amdo Golai started to crack and slip with mud after incessant rainfall.

A huge boulder slipped all of a sudden at Amdo Golai in the morning of June 13। The traffic police on duty warned the people, but by then a piece of rock struck to him and injured who was soon hospitalized. A Maruti van passing through the road narrowly escaped undamaged. The six buildings above the hill side of the road are at major risk and the people from these houses have been evacuated. The District authority swung into action and the area is cordoned off by the police operating round the clock. Minor restoration work and clearing away of rubble is taking place. The bad news is that the rainfall is still not stopped. If the rock belt is affected anyway, it may be dangerous singal for Pani House area and part of Gangtok too.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

By himalayanreview
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP (Indian of Sikkimese Origin)

By himalayanreview
from Sikkim Online CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP Indian of Sikkimese Origin On 26th April 1975, Sikkim was appointed as 22nd state of India. On that day, Sikkim Citizens, Subject holder (Sikkimese) became Indian Citizen according to “Sikkim (Citizenship) Order, 1975” which says “Every person who immediately before the 26th day of April, 1975 was a Sikkim Subject under the Sikkim Subject Regulation 1961, shall be deemed to have become a citizen of India on that day”. As the Indian Constitution does not provide dual citizenship and there exist only citizenship for the whole of country, therefore, the regulation which provided Sikkim Citizenship (Subjects) commonly known as “Sikkim Subject Regulation Act, 1961” was repealed on 13th Sep 1975 according to “Adaptation of Sikkim Laws (No.1) Order” power conferred by clause (l) of Article 371-F of the Constitution which took effect from 26th April 1975 (appointed day). A million dollar question arises here. Who were Sikkim...

The last Chogyal (King) of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
BY SHITAL PRADHAN I was not born when Sikkim became the 22nd state of the Indian Union, and the only information I have about the political identity of my Sikkim comes from literary knowledge and conversations with elderly people. I personally believe that no nation can develop unless its history, culture, and heritage are preserved. Sikkim, though now part of India, bears the responsibility of every Sikkimese to safeguard its past glory. Interestingly, a few days ago, my college-going nephew surprised me when he mentioned that a man named STNM could be the last Chogyal, while one of my colleagues added that TNA and TNSSS also bear the name of the last Chogyal. Well, is this the future of Sikkim? If we cannot enable the younger generation to connect with the facts and authenticity of Sikkim, the state will surely lose its vivacious historical pages. Twenty-five long years have passed since the passing away of the last Chogyal of Sikkim, Late Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal. Apart fr...
