Ranikhola Walkway Extension Survey Completed in Singtam

Singtam, Sikkim, May 4, 2023 — Today marked a significant milestone for the residents of Singtam and the surrounding areas as the survey for the extension of the Ranikhola Walkway was successfully completed. The 1.6-kilometer extension will connect the Sumin Lingzey Bridge, near Singtam Fruit Preservatory Factory to the new hospital site near Toppakhani, providing improved access to essential services and creating a more connected community.


Shantinagar Gaon Sudhar Samiti (SGSS) and Urban Development Department (UDD) officials collaborated in conducting the survey, with invaluable assistance from SGSS President Krishna Chettri. UDD officials Sukhang Limboo, Junior Engineer, and Bhawani Kumar Regmi, Supervisor, worked closely with the SGSS team to measure and assess the proposed walkway extension.



The initiative to extend the Ranikhola Walkway, which previously spanned from Singtam Lal Bazaar to Sumin Lingzey Bridge, was led by Krishna Chettri. A request letter prepared on the letterhead of Shantinagar Gaon Sudhar Samiti was submitted to the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Sikkim on May 19, 2022, who kindly forwarded it to the Secretary of the Urban Development Department.

With Krishna Chettri's consistent follow-ups and collaboration with Urban Development Department officials, the survey was successfully completed today.
