Speaking on the ocassion he said the wastes collected during the cleanliness drive would be kept today and send to garbage vehicle tomorrow. 

He further said, it is really sad that along the Walkway today we found large numbers of dog’s shit and Human wastes. Walkway is meant for enjoying fresh river air, here all age of people comes for morning and evening walk and such human and dogs wastes gives a bad impression, added Chettri. He told, today we had cleaned all the wastes and after all this we have come to the conclusion that if we happen to come across who are responsible for these wastes whether human or dog’s we would do the lawful act, added Chettri.

India’s illegal occupation of independent Sikkim has to be reversed

By himalayanreview
Extracted from Pakistan Defence India’s “Chief Executive” in Gangtok wrote: “Sikkim’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.” It is also said that the real battle was not between the Chogyal and Kazi Lendup Dorji but between their wives. On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung.
