Opening of Nathu La pass
by radhikamruta on Jan 27, 2007 10:22 PM

Mr.Nar Bahadur Bhandari's charges against the present chief minister may be true and could be investigated. However, if as he says approach roads have een built all over Sikkim to the Capital (where the PM resides it would be an indirect tribute. Especailly so in region like Sikkik where there were few roads.

In any case to allege that the Central government fell a pray to the machination of the CM in the opening of the Pass displays a strange lack of maturity. And he has done this as a president of the Congress there. Does the Cogress feel so? One day or the other the Pass had to be reopened.

Mr Bhandari's complaint about non-avaiability of import export licences in Sikkim itself is genuine and government may look into it. However, most of the cross border trade may be only for goods of daily consumption and perhaps may not require such a licence.
