By himalayanreview

Shantinagar, May 7, 2023 - Shantinagar Gaon Sudhar Samiti (SGSS) held a meeting with local shopkeepers in the area to discuss issues related to licensing compliance. The meeting was chaired by Krishna Chettri, President of SGSS, and was attended by Panchayat Sumita Pradhan of Panchayat Ward No. 4, Deepa Chhetri of Panchayat Ward No. 5, and the shopkeepers of the area. During the meeting, it was communicated that those shopkeepers who were unable to attend today's meeting should be informed about the minutes and decisions made.



The meeting began with a two-minute silence to pay tribute to 25-year-old Shaheed Siddhant Chhetri, a Darjeeling resident serving in the Indian Army, who recently lost his life. Krishna Chettri then briefed attendees on the purpose of the meeting, which was to ensure compliance with licensing regulations for local shops. Nishant Chettri, a member of SGSS was the host of the day, the program was conducted very smoothly. 

During the meeting, it was noted that some shops in the area were operating without proper licenses. Shopkeepers were requested to obtain licenses within three months, failing which the samaj and local authorities would not be held responsible if they were found guilty when checked by the Department. It was also advised that shops should not sell items on closed days and maintain proper opening and closing timings. Each licensed shop should display its name and license information prominently.

Krishna Chettri also urged all house owners not to sublet their shops to other individuals. Shopkeepers were advised not to sell items above the printed price, expired items, or items without proper licenses. Overwriting on items should also be avoided.

All shopkeepers present at the meeting expressed their views on the matter. The meeting concluded with a commitment from all attendees to ensure compliance with licensing regulations.

Those early man tools found in Sikkim!

By himalayanreview
--> Display of Neolithic tools recovered from Sajyong, 2003 (Weekend Review) BY SHITAL PRADHAN Not only is the Himalayan land of Sikkim old but it is also considered ancient. The archeological findings of different Neolithic tools in this part of the Himalayas over the last three decades speak of its antiquity. It may be of little importance to many. However, findings of various Neolithic tools from the remote pockets in Sikkim over the past five decades have still collected vivid interest in people beyond this region. On three separate occasions, Neolithic tools had been dug out from Sikkim, and that unfolded the age of this Himalayan mountain land much against the period we were supposed to. “The term Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age, defines the second period, at the beginning of which ground and usually polished rock tools, notably axes, came into widespread use after the adoption of a new technique of stone working. The beginning of the Neolithic...

History on Easter Sunday and Padari Ganga Prasad Pradhan

By himalayanreview
By Seira Tamang As noted by various scholars, Hinduism, the Nepali language, the monarchy and a rastriya itihas (a chronicle of progress in which the dark era of Rana rule is contrasted with the enlightened, progressive and modern period of Panchayat rule) formed the core of the Panchayat regime’s national culture. The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents. Such accounts reveal how ordinary people lived in the past, and offer ways to think through how ‘history’ is crafted, shaped and managed in order to reflect ‘the reality’ best suited to the status quo, ...

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy -iii

By himalayanreview
A Sikkimese with a Shapi The two previous articles I wrote in my earlier edition on Shapi were wonderful to read for people around, and appreciation had been received from different corners of the state. I am thankful and find pleasure in people finding joy in my findings and research work. It was a bit surprising that very few had heard about Shapi, our rare legacy.  Nevertheless, I am happy to be part of history for re-introducing Shapi to those sections of my readers who had never heard about this old and sacred mountain mammal, a native of Sikkim. I dedicate my writing on Shapi to Ongden Daju (RO), who has been very supportive of me ever since I first published its first part a few months back. It was he who wanted me to continue with the third part of Shapi since more findings were evolving after my two writings. I shall always remain grateful to JR Subba, Jt Director from the Forest Department, for providing me with a valuable census report of Shapi done by the Department...
