Today, I attended the one-day sitting of the Third Session of the Eleventh Assembly at the Sikkim Legislative Assembly, where the proceedings began with a respectful tribute to former Minister and MLA, Late Shri Athup Lepcha, honouring his invaluable service to our State.

A major highlight of the session was the presentation and unanimous adoption of Government Resolution No. 1 of 2025, seeking the ratification of the Final Report of the Sikkim State High-Level Committee (SSHLC) for the inclusion of the twelve left-out indigenous communities of Sikkim in the Scheduled Tribe List.

This is a historic and emotional milestone, fulfilling a long-standing aspiration of our communities. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Prem Singh Tamang–Golay for his unwavering commitment and visionary leadership in ensuring justice, recognition and equality for all the people of Sikkim.

My sincere appreciation to Hon’ble Speaker Shri M.N. Sherpa for conducting the session with dignity and to all Hon’ble Ministers and Members for their active participation. I also acknowledge the exceptional efforts of the Assembly Secretariat, led by Secretary Shri Lalit Kumar Gurung, along with senior officers, security personnel, IPR, media, DD Gangtok, and AIR Gangtok for their seamless coordination and communication.

Several important bills were also introduced and passed today, strengthening our governance and public service framework:
• Sikkim Goods and Services (Amendment) Bill, 2025
• Sikkim Land Revenue Bill, 2025
• Sikkim Sewerage and Sewage Disposal Bill, 2025
• Sikkim Water Supply and Water Charges Bill, 2025
• Jan Vishwas (Amendment) Sikkim Bill, 2025

Today, the day began with the Bhumi Pujan of Nagar Van Social Forestry at Ravangla, organised by the Forest & Environment Department. This initiative is another step towards fulfilling the green vision of our Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Prem Singh Tamang-Golay , promoting sustainable forestry, biodiversity conservation and ecological balance.

I then attended a special awareness programme organised under the Nasha Mukht Bharat Abhiyan in collaboration with SARATHI 1.0 at PM Shri VCGL Senior Secondary School, Ravangla. The initiative, led by the school and its SMC, focused on how spirituality and positive thinking can guide our youth toward a drug-free and disciplined life.

During the session, speakers highlighted the growing challenges of substance abuse and encouraged students to embrace healthy habits, self-awareness and the right support systems. Interactive talks and motivational messages reminded everyone that a strong, conscious and spiritually grounded mind is the best defence against addiction.

My appreciation to the school, SMC and all officials for organising such a meaningful programme. Together, let us continue working towards a healthier, aware, and empowered Sikkim.

After the programme, I proceeded to Dojak, where a remarkable community-led beautification effort is underway. The people of Dojak, known for their unique stone craftsmanship, have been working together through collective voluntary labour (shramdaan) to transform their village into a major tourist destination.

I joined the shramdaan event today, inspired by the dedication and unity of the local residents. Their commitment truly reflects the vision of our Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Prem Singh Tamang (Golay) for a Sunaulo, Samriddha & Samarth Sikkim.

During my interaction, I highlighted Dojak’s natural charm, cultural significance and immense potential for tourism. With such community-driven efforts, Dojak is steadily emerging as a promising and attractive destination.

OSD to HCM Shri Karma S***a also addressed the gathering, appreciating the community’s initiative and citing “Kanchako Bhansa Ghar” as a strong example of how such efforts can enhance tourist inflow. He shared that several future infrastructure developments supported by the government will further benefit the residents of this region.

I congratulate the people of Dojak for their hard work and vision and I extend my best wishes for the continued progress of this beautiful village.

Today, I had the privilege of inaugurating the week-long Golden Jubilee Celebration of Mangzing Government Secondary School by hoisting the Jubilee flag. It was a proud moment to celebrate 50 years of dedication, learning and community effort.

I am happy that this Jubilee has been planned with students and youth at its core, aligning perfectly with the vision of our Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Prem Singh Tamang-Golay who continually emphasises youth empowerment and student-focused initiatives as they are the future bearers of responsibility for our society and our state. I also appreciate the sincere preparation by the school and organising committee—an example of what unity and positive intent can achieve.

I also inaugurated the Golden Jubilee Garden and released the school magazine “Swarnim Smriti.” The event featured the opening of an open volleyball tournament, along with vibrant cultural and sports activities.

Today’s celebrations for Barahimizong, the sacred festival of the Mangar community, were filled with devotion, togetherness and cultural pride.

We began the day with an early morning puja at Mangarzong, Mangsari, performed by the revered Wappa at the ongoing project site of Mangarzong–Mangsari. The ceremony was graced by the presence of Hon’ble Area MLA Soreng–Chakung, Shri Aditya Golay and members of the Mangar community who gathered to seek blessings of Barahi Devta for peace, prosperity and well-being.

Later in the day, I was pleased to attend the Barahimizong picnic at Kamrang, beautifully organised by the Kamrang Mamlay Block. The event was also attended by Hon’ble Minister, UDD, Shri Bhojraj Rai, along with many well-wishers and community members who came together in celebration.

Barahimizong is a festival that signifies faith, unity and gratitude—where we offer prayers to Barahi God for divine blessings and protection. It was heartwarming to witness the strong cultural bond and enthusiastic participation of everyone present.

Wishing the entire Mangar community and all well-wishers a blessed and joyful Barahimizong. May the spirit of this sacred festival bring harmony, happiness and prosperity to all.

Yesterday began on a positive and inspiring note with the inauguration of the Stonecrest Café at Upper Rangang, PTC Road. The café has recently been refurbished and is now fully operational, offering a refreshed ambience for visitors and contributing to the growing local entrepreneurial spirit in our area. I extend my best wishes to the entire team for their success.

Later in the day, I had the privilege of attending the Valedictory Function of the 90-Day Skill Upgradation Training Programme on Handloom Weaving as the Chief Guest at Lower Gagyong, Yangang. Organised under the RAMP scheme of the Ministry of MSME, Government of India, the programme was conducted by the Directorate of Handicrafts & Handloom in collaboration with the Commerce & Industries Department.

This important initiative aligns strongly with the vision of our Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Prem Singh Tamang–Golay, who has continuously emphasised women empowerment, skill development and self-relianceas pillars of Sikkim’s progress. Through such training programmes, our women and local artisans are being equipped with valuable skills that not only enhance their livelihood opportunities but also strengthen the cultural and economic fabric of our rural communities.

Senior officials from the department, including the Joint Director and Deputy Director, highlighted the significance of upgrading traditional skills and empowering artisans to participate in new entrepreneurial avenues.

The trainees showcased their beautiful woven products, reflecting the dedication, patience and artistry they have nurtured over the past 90 days. It was truly inspiring to witness how such initiatives are enabling individuals—especially women—to move towards self-sufficiency, entrepreneurship and the preservation of Sikkim’s rich handloom heritage.

The programme concluded with the distribution of certificates, accompanied by words of encouragement for all participants to continue honing their craft and exploring new possibilities in the handloom sector.

My heartfelt appreciation to the entire organising team and warm congratulations to all the trainees.
May this journey of learning open many new doors of empowerment, confidence and prosperity for each of you.

Today, I speak not with anger, but with a heavy heart.

As the elected representative of 15–Rangang Yangang, I have always believed that public service is built on trust, compassion and honesty. We may belong to different parties, different ideologies and different opinions - but at the end of the day, we are one family under the sky of Sikkim.

Firstly, I strongly dismiss and condemn all allegations made against our Hon’ble Chief Minister.His character, integrity and commitment to serve the poor and marginalised stand unquestionable. No attempt - political or personal - can diminish his lifelong dedication to uplift the people of Sikkim.

That is why the recent false and misleading statements made by Ms. Tashi Lhamu Bhutia have deeply hurt me - not as a politician, but as a woman who genuinely tried to help another woman in need.

She personally came to me seeking assistance for her small restaurant venture. Out of compassion and responsibility, I forwarded her case to our respected HCM Sir, and financial support of ₹1 lakh was approved for her after proper verification under CMSEAS norms. This support was provided because we believed in helping her stand on her own feet.

Yet today, instead of acknowledging the help she received, the truth is being twisted and circulated publicly. She never applied for a homestay allotment - only for financial support - and that support was granted with goodwill and sincerity.

What pains me even more is seeing certain political forces take advantage of this situation to spread misinformation, create division and target our respected leader, Shri P.S. Golay, who has always encouraged us to support the needy with fairness and humanity. Their intention is not only to tarnish his image but also to undermine the very ideas, policies and people-centric schemes aimed at uplifting our citizens from the chains of social inequality and economic poverty. Such actions mislead the public and attempt to derail the collective progress we are striving towards.

Politics should never be built on bitterness, manipulation, or false propaganda.
Opposition or not - we must protect dignity, truth and respect in public discourse.

I strongly condemn the false allegations and the attempt to defame good governance. I have also spoken with CMO officials to take appropriate legal action against defamation and misinformation.

To the people of Sikkim - you are wise. You can see the difference between truth and agendas, between sincere governance and manufactured controversy.
