Office of Raju Bista
Press Release
18th of Oct, 2024

I’m happy to share that on October 20, 2024, Hon'ble Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi ji will lay the foundation stone for the first phase of the "Bagdogra Airport New Terminal Project".

Bagdogra Airport serves as the sole commercial airport for North Bengal, catering to a vast population across Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, Cooch Behar, North and South Dinajpur and Malda. It also accommodates travelers from Sikkim, lower Assam, eastern Bihar, and neighboring countries like Bhutan, Nepal, and Bangladesh, making it the second busiest airport in West Bengal. Hence, development of Bagdogra Aiport was crucial towards ensuring the development of air connectivity in our region.

Over the past decade, passenger traffic surged from around 3,000 passengers daily with 20 flights, to approximately 10,000 passengers and nearly 60 flights operating on a daily basis, yet the airport facilities had remained stagnant.

Since my election, I had envisioned upgrading Bagdogra to an international airport, as one of my major developmental priorities for our region. Thanks to PM Modi ji, current Civil Aviation Minister Sh. K.R. Naidu ji, and former Minister Sh. Jyotiraditya Scindia ji for their support in bringing this vision to life.

The first phase will feature a new terminal spanning 70,390 sqm, with plans for an additional 50,000 sqm in future phases. It will accommodate 3,000 peak-hour passengers and an annual capacity of over 10 million passengers. The terminal will include 10 parking bays for A321 aircraft, two link taxiways, and multi-level parking.

In alignment with sustainability goals, the terminal will be a ‘Green Building,’ utilizing renewable energy and maximizing natural light.

When finished, Bagdogra will be the first international airport in our region, positioning it as a hub for travel, tourism, and trade.

This momentous occasion will mark the transformation of our Siliguri, Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars region to a world class destination for investments in travel, tourism, tea, health care, education, and beyond.

सिक्किममा महिला हिंसाको वृद्धि: सरकारको उदासीनता र हाम्रो समाजको लज्जास्पद अवस्था

प्रेस विज्ञप्ति Citizen Action Party - Sikkim

गान्तोकको सेलेप टेङ्कि नजिक घटेको घटना डम्बरी क्षेत्रीको हत्याले हामी सबैलाई गहिरो स्तब्धता र आक्रोशमा डुबाएको छ। म एक महिलाको नाताले यो निर्दयी हत्या र घरेलु हिंसाको घटनालाई कडा शब्दमा भर्त्सना गर्छु। डम्बरीको यो मृत्यु केवल व्यक्तिगत पीडामा सीमित छैन, यो हाम्रो समाजको हिंसात्मक प्रवृत्तिको एउटा कटु सत्य हो, जसले सरकारको कमजोरी र हाम्रो समाजको लज्जास्पद अनुहारलाई प्रकट गर्दछ।
प्रितम तामाङले पटक-पटक यातना दिएर, अन्ततः डम्बरीको ज्यान लिएको यो घटना सिक्किमको लागि असहनीय र दुःखद दिनको रूपमा दर्ज भएको छ। यो घटना कुनै एक व्यक्तिको दु:ख मात्र होइन, यो सम्पूर्ण समाजमा व्याप्त हिंसात्मक मानसिकताको प्रत्यक्ष प्रमाण हो। सिक्किमजस्तो शान्तिको प्रतीक मानिएको राज्यमा पनि महिलाहरू हिंसा, उत्पीडन, र अन्यायको शिकार भइरहनु दुःखद छ, र यो कुनै एक घटना मात्र होइन—महिला हिंसाका घटनाहरू दिनदिनै बढिरहेका छन्।
सिक्किममा पछिल्ला केही वर्ष देखि यता महिला हिंसाका घटनाहरूमा व्यापक बृद्धि भएको छ। नवे वर्षकी वृद्धा महिलादेखि तीन-चार वर्षका बालिकासम्म बलात्कारको शिकार भैरहेका छन्। यी घटनाहरू केवल समाचार बनेर सिमित रहन्छन्, तर वास्तविक न्याय भने अधिकांश पीडितहरूले पाउँदैनन्। यस्तो स्थितिमा, सरकारको भूमिका झनै खेदजनक छ। कानूनी संरचना बलियो भए तापनि, यसको कार्यान्वयनमा चरम लापरवाही देखिन्छ। SKM सरकारले नारी हिंसाका घटनालाई गम्भीरतापूर्वक नलिएको स्पष्ट छ, र यो उदासीनता झन्-झन् महिलाहरूको असुरक्षा बढाउने कारण बनेको छ।
सशक्तिकरणको खोक्रो नारा र प्रचार:
SKM सरकारले नारी सशक्तिकरणको खोक्रो नारा मात्रै दिएको छ। महंगा कार्यक्रमहरू आयोजना गर्नु, दिवसहरू मनाउनु, अनि भाषण दिनु मात्रै सशक्तिकरण होइन। वास्तवमा, सिक्किमका महिलाहरू अझै पनि हिंसा, उत्पीडन,
र विभेदको सिकार भइरहेका छन्। डम्बरी क्षेत्रीको घटनाले यो कुराको पुष्टि गरिसकेको छ। महिलाको सुरक्षा र सम्मानको लागि ठोस कानूनी व्यवस्था गर्न र न्यायिक प्रक्रियालाई सुदृढ बनाउनु अहिलेको महत्त्वपूर्ण आवश्यकता हो।
समाजको दोषी मौनता:
हाम्रो समाज पनि यस्ता घटनाहरूमा दोषी छ। महिलामाथि हिंसाको विरोधमा समाजको आवाज उठ्न सकेको छैन। बलात्कार, हत्या, र हिंसाका घटनाहरू बारम्बार भइरहँदा पनि हामी मौन बस्छौं। यसले अपराधीलाई अझै हिम्मत दिन्छ। हाम्रो समाजमा महिलाविरुद्धको हिंसा कुनै छुट्टै घटना मात्र होइन, यो हाम्रो समाजको लज्जास्पद अनुहार हो। महिलामाथि हुने अत्याचारहरू हाम्रो समाजमा गहिरो रूपमा जरा गाडेर बसेका छन्।
सिक्किमको धेरै युवतीहरू रोजगारीको सिलसिलामा बाहिर गएका छन्, र उनीहरूले भोगेका पीडाका कथाहरू सुन्दा हृदय चिरिन्छ। हाम्रो समाजमा अझै पनि महिलाहरू शारीरिक, मानसिक, र यौन उत्पीडनको शिकार भइरहेका छन्, र यी हिंसाका घटनाहरूलाई सामान्य मान्न थालिएको छ। यो मानसिकतामा परिवर्तन ल्याउन अब हरेक तहमा व्यापक रूपमा चेतना फैलाउन अपरिहार्य छ।
सरकारको जिम्मेवारी:
सरकारको दायित्व केवल कानुनी व्यवस्था बनाएर पूरा हुँदैन। सशक्तिकरण भनेको महिलालाई कानूनी, सामाजिक, र आर्थिक रूपमा बलियो बनाउनु हो। महिलाले आफ्नो ज्यानको डरबिना स्वतन्त्र जीवन बाँच्न पाउनु पर्छ। SKM सरकारले वास्तविक सशक्तिकरणको लागि अब ठोस कदम चाल्नुपर्छ।
हामीले महिलामाथिको हिंसा केवल व्यक्तिगत पीडा भनेर बुझ्न बन्द गर्नुपर्छ। यो सम्पूर्ण समाजको संकट हो। यसले हरेक आक्रमणले आवाजलाई दबाउँछ, सपनाहरूलाई चकनाचुर बनाउँछ, र डरको चक्रलाई निरन्तरता दिन्छ। हिंसाको चक्रलाई रोक्न हामीले अब महिला सुरक्षामा एकजुट भएर आवाज उठाउनुपर्छ। सुरक्षित ठाउँहरू सिर्जना गर्नु, पीडितहरूलाई सशक्त बनाउनु, र अपराधीहरूलाई जवाफदेही बनाउनु अनिवार्य छ।
हाम्रो समाजका लागि, हाम्रो महिला दिदीबहिनीहरूको सुरक्षाको लागि, अब मौन बस्ने समय छैन। हानिकारक परम्परागत धारणाहरूलाई चुनौती दिऔं। न्यायको माग गरौं, र महिलाहरूलाई बिना डर बाँच्न पाउने दिनका लागि हाम्रो आवाज उठाऔं। महिला हिंसाको अन्त्य गर्नु कुनै विकल्प होइन—यो एक न्यायपूर्ण र समान समाज निर्माणको लागि अनिवार्य छ।
समाजले अब वास्तविक नारी सशक्तिकरणका लागि हातेमालो गर्नुपर्छ। अब हामीले आँसु पुछ्न मात्रै होइन, न्यायका लागि लड्न पनि तयार हुनुपर्छ। जबसम्म प्रत्येक महिलाले आफ्नो ज्यानको डर बिना जीवन बाँच्न पाउँदैन, तबसम्म हाम्रो लडाई अधुरो नै हुनेछ।
हाम्रो आवाज, हाम्रो लडाई, हाम्रो संकल्प!

Goa Skittles Sikkim for 108 in Ranji Trophy Match | Next Up: Goa's Batting Against Sikkim's Bowlers

Sikkim was dismissed for just 108 runs in 46.5 overs on the first day of their Ranji Trophy match against Goa at the SICA Ground, Mining. Opting to bat first, Sikkim faced early setbacks, with key players such as Arun Chettri (7 off 41 balls), Nilesh Lamichaney (4 off 23 balls), and Pankaj Rawat (7 off 33 balls) failing to make significant contributions. Anwesh Sharma was out for a duck after facing 6 deliveries.
Parth Palawat provided some resistance with a steady 39 off 65 balls, while Palzor Tamang added a brisk 19 off 16 balls. However, Sikkim's middle and lower order collapsed, with Ankur Malik scoring 22 off 32 balls. Saurav Kumar Prasad (3 off 48 balls) and captain Lee Yong Lepcha (0 off 7 balls) struggled, and Ronit More (2 off 10 balls) was the last wicket to fall, leaving Bhim Lall Luitel stranded on 1.
Goa's bowlers delivered a stellar performance, spearheaded by Heramb Parab, who claimed 3 wickets for 42 runs in 13 overs. Arjun Tendulkar also shone with 2 wickets for 31 runs in 14 overs, while Shubham Tari contributed with 1 for 21 from 11 overs. The spin duo of Darshan Misal (2 for 2 in 5 overs) and Mohit Redkar (2 for 9 in 3.5 overs) wreaked havoc, leaving Sikkim in a precarious position. Goa conceded 5 extra runs during the innings.
Now, all eyes will be on Goa's batting as they face off against Sikkim's bowlers.
