| Silver Oak Tree planted by then Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi in 1984 I am sure many of us have seen this Silver Oak tree at Amdo Golai, near Tadong opposite the traffic point that leads to Indira Bye Pass. More than a decade back there used to be a foundation stone that had words inscribed - Planted by Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India in 1984. Today I look at this heritage tree and feel sad it seems to have lost its glory and its history. I am sure in the near future the concerned department will surely look into this matter. 22.11.23: Even after ten years of this post, the tree is strong and beautiful. I am sure someday this tree will have her moment and will be declared a national heritage.   |

Dear Shital,
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing well.
I remember Prime Minister Indira Gandhi visited Sikkim and passed by in an open jeep in 1983. We were there waving little flags. The jeep stopped in front of the T.N.A. main gate and Mrs. Fayazuddin, one of our teachers, gave her a bouquet of flowers. I'm not sure if she visited in 1984 though. She was assassinated on 31st October, 1984.
Warm regards,
Naresh
