SINGTAM POLICE NAB 12 CABLE CHORS

By himalayanreview
SINGTAM, June 6: The Singtam Police has arrested 12 persons in connection with cable theft in the area.

Following many complaints lodged by the BSNL with the Police over the regular thefts of optical fibre cable, especially from remote areas, the Police were on the heels of these offenders for a long time.

On June 2 morning, the Singtam Police found two persons-Sher Bahadur Subba and Bal Bahadur Tamang of Ralep Busty moving around in a suspicious manner. When the Police checked their bags, they found one Khukuri, one Bamfook, a hexa blade and cables worth Rs. 65,000 in them.

Immediately, they were taken to the Singtam Police Station and during interrogation, they revealed that others were also involved in cable theft.

Following the lead, the Police arrested Chandu Rai, Passang Tamang, Karan Bahadur Rai, Karna Bahadur Rai, Arun Mangar, Tara Subba, Lal Bahadur Thapa, Gopal Rai, Nim Tshering Tamang, Lakpa Sherpa, Phurba Tamang and Subash Darjee. Subsequently, this led to the revelation of two more involved in this crime- Mahar Singh and Amesh Lama of Gorubathan in West Bengal. The Police are on the lookout for these two.

The main accused behind the cable theft is suspected to be Nim Tshering who apparently buys the stolen cables for Rs. 130 per KG and also provides his own vehicle for the transportation of the cables. He then used to sell the cables to scarp dealers in Singtam and Siliguri. A local scrap dealer from Singtam-Sukram Tamang was called to the Singtam Police Station for interrogation in this connection.

Most of the arrested are labourers in various projects in and around Singtam. The 12 cable thieves have been arrested under section 379 of IPC.

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...
