PRESS RELEASE
Press Secretary
Office of PD Rai, Lok
Sabha MP for Sikkim
Following a high-level
meeting of the Officials of DoNER and Chief Minister Pawan Chamling, where both
Sikkim MPs were also present, the Ministry has began taking action on
development projects for Sikkim. As a first step, funding for retrofitting and
beautification of the cremation area in Jalipool (near Ranipool), in East
Sikkim has been sanctioned.
Earlier the MPs had met
the Minister of State (IC) DoNER, General (Retd) VK Singh. “This multi-crore
project will give the area a facelift, including environmental upkeep, and will
restore dignity for the final journey of departed souls. The project will be
implemented in a transparent manner with multifaceted consultations by
the Govt. of Sikkim,”
said PD Rai, Lok Sabha MP. “I am sure that all sections of our Society will be
happy by this approval which has come about due to the intervention of the
Hon'ble Chief Minister in New Delhi," he said.
The pace of decision
making has speeded up significantly under the new Modi-led Government at the
Center. This quick approval of funding for an important social project comes as
a reinforcing expression of commitment by the Center towards the development of
Sikkim after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unprecedented endorsement of
Sikkim's achievements in Organic Farming.
