CONGRESS EYES UNSETTLED NEMSIS QUANDARY

GANGTOK, April 20: The Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC) Grievance Cell in a meeting today deliberated on the pending issues of Nemsis investigation, where about 200 youths had deposited money for the sake of employment.
The youth had reported against the Nemsis Director and the Representative Director from the Government of Sikkim to the Board of Director, who is an MLA. The SPCC has forwarded the case to the State Vigilance Department awaiting its clearance for actual clarification to the aggrieved and oppressed youth.
The SPCC has already asked the government to scrutiny the existence of such fictitious NGOs, disguised company and associations which are being managed by the non-Sikkimse, as the recent happening by these dubious companies and NGO have implicated the local persons in colossal financial loss.
The Grievance Cell of SPCC as well pondered upon the lethargic management of State Agriculture Department as the agro based Sikkim prime cash crop like apple, orange, cardamom and ginger are fading away loosing their existence once for all and even the revival programme has also failed keeping in memory only the good old days of Bhandari’s regime in agriculture supremacy.
The Kishan Cell Chairman of SPCC, DB Basnett conveyed his concern before the people of Sikkim on the pathetic performance of agricultural sector, where huge central budget is being invested.
The SPCC also deliberated upon the failure of Project Planning in the state government as reviewed by the government and widely published in media and have questioned the utility of such a huge planning Board and administrative machineries, who are simply occupying the office for their leisure and luxurious facilities and are not ashamed for their non-productive contribution.
The Grievance Cell requested that government to see the ground realities and give less importance to pomp & show business stop adding declaration of government holidays henceforth as the Sikkim is the only state which enjoys more than 100 days holidays in a year, and during such time the entire machineries gets jammed though even otherwise the fun fare and merry making business continuously persist spoiling the education of the innocent children.
