Press Release | Citizen Action Party – Sikkim | 25 September 2025

The Citizen Action Party – Sikkim strongly condemns the recent incident where derogatory and abusive remarks were made on the social media account of Ms. Reema Sharma Chapaghai. On 14th September 2025, Ms. Sharma lodged a General Diary at Gyalshing Police Station after receiving a highly offensive and threatening comment from an unidentified Facebook account. The language used in the comment was not only derogatory towards her dignity but also carried an explicit r**e threat, targeting her as a woman.

Disturbingly, even after this complaint, yet another unidentified Facebook user operating under the name “चिन्यौ मलाई” has once again posted a highly abusive and derogatory remark on Ms. Sharma’s account. This repeated pattern of cyber harassment is not just a direct attack on her as an individual, but an attack on the dignity, safety, and respect of all women in Sikkim.

The Citizen Action Party – Sikkim views this incident with utmost seriousness. Online harassment, abuse, and threats of sexual violence cannot and must not be tolerated in any civilized society. Women in Sikkim, and across India, deserve to live and express themselves freely without fear of intimidation, abuse, or character assassination.

We call upon the law enforcement authorities to take swift and strict action against the culprits behind these fake accounts and bring them to justice. At the same time, we urge the Sikkim State Women Commission to take proactive measures against such incidents which are increasingly targeting women and girls on digital platforms. The alarming rise in cases of digital sexual harassment in Sikkim is deeply concerning and requires immediate intervention and strong institutional safeguards.

The Citizen Action Party – Sikkim stands firmly in solidarity with Ms. Reema Sharma Chapaghai and all women who have faced similar harassment. We reaffirm our commitment to uphold the dignity, safety, and rights of women, and we urge every citizen to raise their voice against such unacceptable acts.

“An attack on the dignity of one woman is an attack on the dignity of all.”

Press Release
BJP State President Meets Nitin Gadkari to address Connectivity Challenges in Sikkim

September 24, 2025

BJP Sikkim State President Shri DR Thapa met Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari, in New Delhi today to address Sikkim’s pressing infrastructure challenges, critical for its economy and tourism. The discussion centered on the agendas to restore and upgrade road connectivity, which is in a critical stage even the State is celebrating its 50 years of Statehood.

First, Shri Thapa emphasized urgent rehabilitation of National Highway 10, the lifeline of Sikkim, severely damaged by the 2023 Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) and recurring landslides. The Monsoon closures have disrupted supplies, halved tourist arrivals, and inflated commodity prices, threatening hotel business and livelihoods. He requested climate-resilient measures like slope stabilization, realignment, and enhanced NHIDCL-state coordination. He also proposed an alternative highway between Singtam and Sevoke on the opposite side of existing NH10 for reliable connectivity in the region.

Second, the focus was on restoring North connectivity in North Sikkim, crippled by the 2023 GLOF and the landslides triggered by the monsoon, which destroyed 14 bridges and damaged NH-10 and adjoining connectivity infrastructures, isolating Dzongu, Chungthang, Lachen, and Lachung. Temporary repairs have failed again and again, devastating the tourism-driven economy in the district. Shri Thapa requested swift reconstruction with durable infrastructure, leveraging NHIDCL and BRO expertise to secure livelihoods as well as national security.

Similarly, to address severe traffic congestion in Gangtok, Mr. Thapa has proposed Ring Road in the capital town. Gangtok with over one lakh vehicles causing 3–4 hour daily delays, the Ring Road would ease pressure on outdated infrastructure, improve mobility for students, businesses, and defense, and boost tourism. The State President requested feasibility study and prioritized funding for the project.

Union Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari, has assured the Centre’s commitment to resolving these issues, outlining ongoing and proposed projects.

BJP Sikkim reiterated its dedication to the development of the State under the visionary guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
