PRESS INFORMATION

A meeting of the State Cabinet was held on 17th October, 2023 at 2 Pm in the Cabinet Hall of Tashiling Secretariat, Gangtok. A total of 205 Agenda items were discussed during the meeting and many important decisions were taken.

I. The Cabinet also adopted a Resolution in the wake of the unprecedented natural disaster caused by flash floods in river Teesta on 4th October, 2023 which has caused massive loss to life, livelihood and property of the people living along the banks of the river. The entire Sikkimese society is mourning the loss of precious lives in this catastrophe. The Council of Ministers expressed their gratitude to the overwhelming support received from the people, Government of India, other State Government and Organizations during this hour of need.

The following Resolution was adopted, namely:-
“The Council of Ministers noted with heavy hearts the profound loss of lives, livelihood, property and some major critical infrastructure at the wake of devastating flash floods on 4th October, 2023. During this hour of grief, the State Government stands by the people of Sikkim and commits itself to ensure all help and support to enable the affected people to re build their lives and livelihoods. The Council of Ministers also express their deep condolences to the bereaved families of people who lost their life in this catastrophe.

We would also like to put on record the incredible solidarity shown by the Sikkimese society at this hour of need and acknowledge the contribution of each and every individual and Organisation who are working tirelessly to support the State administration in surmounting this grave challenge. The contribution of all these Heroes are the bricks by which We will rebuild our State and come out of this catastrophe ‘Together’ and ‘Stronger’.
We urge the people of Sikkim to be strong and resilient at this hour and remain positive.”

Following the adoption of this Resolution 2 (two) minute’s silence was observed in memory of the people who lost their lives during this disaster.

II. a. The Cabinet has also decided to introduce some interventions to alleviate the loss and suffering faced by the people affected by the catastrophic flashfloods of 4th October and felt that one of the basic needs to be fulfilled by the Government is to provide them a proper place to live in order to enable them to carry on with their life and livelihood.
b. With this objective, the Cabinet introduced two new Housing Schemes as follows:
• Sikkim Punarvaas Awaas Yojana
• Sikkim Janta Housing Colony
c. Under the “Sikkim Punarvaas Awaas Yojana”, 2100 houses will be constructed, in a safe and suitable location, and allot them to the owners of houses that have been totally washed away in the Teesta Flash Floods and owners of houses that have been severely/partially damaged by the floods and are no more inhabitable. The Government would construct these houses in a Government land or a land donated/acquired for this purpose.
d. Under the “Sikkim Janta Housing Colony”, 2000 Houses will be constructed in a safe and suitable location, to rehabilitate the tenants of houses that have been totally washed away in the Teesta Flash Floods and tenants of houses that have been severely/partially damaged by the floods and are no more inhabitable. These tenants would be allotted houses under this scheme on a “Rental basis”. However, no rent would be charged by the Government for first three years of allotment. On completion of three years, rent as assessed by the government shall be payable by the allottees.
e. The severely/partially damaged houses would be inspected by a Technical Team which would assess the stability of these houses and certify whether these houses are habitable or not.
f. In order to be eligible for both these schemes, the beneficiaries should be in possession of Sikkim Subject Certificate or Certificate of Identification or Parcha of landed property anywhere in Sikkim, Voter Card or Residential Certificate of Sikkim.
g. The construction of houses under the above-mentioned schemes would follow the same design and estimate of Sikkim Garib Awaas Yojana, and on-going scheme of the Government.
3. For immediate support and assistance to the owners of such houses mentioned above and the tenants who were staying in those houses, the Government would consider granting rent for three months @ Rs. 5000/- per month to enable the victims at the Relief Camp to move to a rented accommodation and get back to normalcy at the earliest.
4. In addition, the Government would provide basic household items like kitchen utensils, gas stove, gas cylinder, mattress, blankets and other daily household items to help the victims settle down in the rented accommodation.
5. Since, there will be an acute demand for rented accommodation in the affected areas, the State Government appeals to all the house owners in these areas to not to increase the rental charges beyond the normal market rate. Action will be taken under Disaster Management Act against those house owners who charge exorbitant rent at this hour of crisis.
6. After clearance of debris and muck at the affected areas the Building & Housing Department will carry out a stability study to verify and confirm whether the damaged houses are fit for habitation or not.
7. Similarly, the Roads & Bridges Department along with Rural Development Department and Border Road Organization (BRO) will carry out a study to know the stability of the bridges that are affected by the flashflood, in order to take up the required repair works.
8. The District Collectors will set up camps at the affected areas for issue of Voter Card, Adhar Card, Land Parcha, Ration Card, Birth Certificate, Certificate of Identification, Community Certificate, Trade License etc. for those victims who have lost these documents in the flood.
9. In order to support the students who have lost all their belonging in Flash Flood in Teesta River, the Government would provide a onetime grant of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) per students who have been genuinely affected by the Flash Flood for purchase of new uniform and note books. The new text books will be provided by the Education Department.
10. The Cabinet was also pleased to grant administrative approval and financial sanction of Rs. 881,91,00,000/- (Rupees Eight Hundred and Eighty-One Crore and Ninety – One Lakhs Only) towards Construction of 2100 Houses under “Punarvaas Awaas Yojana” and 2000 Houses under “Janta Housing Colony” for the victims of Flash Floods in Teesta River which will be implemented by Rural Development Department.
11. The Cabinet has also taken a decision to constitute a technical committee of eminent scientists of the country comprising of Glaciologist, Geologist, Seismologist, Hydrologist etc. in consultation with NDMA. The committee shall look into the causes of the recent disaster that struck the state. Further, the committee shall undertake necessary investigation and suggest further course of action to the government. Since, the state has a large number of glacial lakes and some are reported to be increasing in its size, the committee shall also suggest a comprehensive plan of action for its management, in view of the recent disaster.
12. The Cabinet also directed the Chief Secretary to immediately convene the State Level Bankers Committee Meeting and to ensure that Circular dated 17.10.2018 of the RBI on Relief Measures by Banks in areas affected by natural calamities is implemented in letter and spirit.
13. The Cabinet also decided to confer a Special State Bravery Award for the bravery and courage shown by Dr. Pema Tenzing Bhutia and Shri Dawa Tshering Lepcha during the catastrophic flash floods of 4th October, 2023. Their bravery and commitment to the welfare of fellow citizens has saved many lives and the State is forever indebted to these brave hearts.

From the Page of Chief Minister...
I was elated to flag off the Amrit Mitti Kalash Yatra as part of the 'Meri Maati Mera Desh' campaign at Samman Bhawan, organized by the Rural Development Department, Government of Sikkim.

The dedicated NSS volunteers hailing from various regions of Sikkim are carrying 34 Kalash (earthen pots) filled with soil collected from 33 blocks and one urban local body. They will embark on a journey to New Delhi to participate in the national-level culmination program of this campaign, during which soil collected from all corners of our nation will be ceremonially installed in a symbolic Amrit Vatika later this month.

I encouraged these volunteers to embrace this enriching experience in the national capital, and emphasized the paramount importance of being responsible citizens, pointing out that this campaign fosters love, and respect for our nation, and nurtures a sense of unity.

Our request and clarification to the Sikkim government.
Global Nepali News Prem Singh Tamang-Golay Government of Sikkim
Hello
Our group is recognized as Sikkime legendary. We have been living since the time of king. Forest Department (Forest Department) has been established in Sikkim since 1900. According to the king's order, population has decreased and the identity of the Tangedar community has been created to start forest management. At that time, modernization was happening in all the areas. Forest region found a treasure for the country's economic growth if this area is elected and well governed. Meanwhile, Tangedar started living in Sikkim. Later distributed Sikkim subject regulation Act 1961) through law and Sikkim legislator who made Sikkim subject certificate, since then this group became pure Sikkim like others.
In 1973, when India controlled Sikkim and in 1975, Sikkim was completely made a part of India and made a house of democracy in Sikkim, India's law has been implemented along with the old law in Sikkim.
Similarly, Government of India (Forest Rights Act 2006) directed the law to transfer special 4 hectares of land to their personal name to give justice to those living in forest land of Sahra India.
Unfortunately, the then government in Sikkim has done injustice to the Indian government by sending false reports saying that they will not settle in such forest land in Sikkim.

According to this law, legislators must submit a certificate of residence for 75 years before 13 Dec 2005. Now Sikkim Subget Certificate (SSC/COI) fulfills this criteria in Sikkim. But why is the Sikkim government not ready to enforce this law? Why is the Sikkim government doing open forest exploitation? If the Sikkim government does not take any initiative to organize this area today, then Sikkim will be in crisis tomorrow.

We have given the Sikkim government on this issue
You are trying to inform many times. We are even more optimistic towards the government.
