BJP Press Release | BJP

I regret to inform you that a tragic accident occurred today on the Lamaten Rolep Road, resulting in the death of Nopu Thazey a former Panchayat member. The accident was caused by a boulder that fell onto the road on the under-construction NHIDCL route, between Rolep and Lamaten near S K turning.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident may have been exacerbated by the carelessness of the construction company responsible for the ongoing works. The site, which should have adhered to safety regulations, failed to prevent this unfortunate event.

As the community mourns the loss of Mr. Thazey, we urge the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the construction practices and safety measures employed by the construction company, plus the Sikkim government department responsible for it. Ensuring the safety of our roads and the people who travel them is of utmost importance to us.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family of Nopu Thazey during this difficult time.

Shanti Rai, a renowned mountaineering instructor at the Indian Himalayan Centre For Adventure & Eco-Tourism, Chemchey, Namchi district, Sikkim, has been honored with the prestigious IMF Gold Medal by the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF). The award recognizes her exceptional contributions to the field of mountaineering, including her remarkable achievements in high-altitude expeditions.

The IMF Gold Medal, established in 1961, is awarded to Indian citizens for exceptional achievements in mountaineering. Previous recipients include iconic figures such as Tenzing Norgay, Sonam Gyatso, and Dorjee Lhatoo, whose groundbreaking achievements have inspired generations of mountaineers.

The Indian Mountaineering Foundation, founded in 1957, is the apex body for the promotion of mountaineering and adventure sports in India. It plays a vital role in facilitating and organizing expeditions, promoting safety standards, and encouraging the development of mountaineering skills across the country.

Rai's mountaineering career includes several outstanding accomplishments, including scaling the challenging Mt. Ama Dablam (6812m) in January 2021. As a mountaineering instructor, she has also played a significant role in promoting adventure sports, particularly among women, in the Himalayan region.

In 2022, Rai was elected for lifetime membership of the Indian Mountaineering Foundation during the 58th Annual General Meeting, after securing the highest number of votes. She is the first person from Sikkim to earn this honor.

Rai was part of the nine-member team that successfully scaled the 7,077-meter Kun Peak in Kargil. The expedition, which began on August 24, 2022, was organized by the Chhattisgarh Government in collaboration with the IMF to promote women empowerment. Rai, along with other members of the team, proudly hoisted the Indian tricolor at the peak.
