Taraman Chettri was the General Secretary of SPCC and area in-charge of Melli Constituency. ‘The SPCC had already brought this matter to the Governor of Sikkim several times but expressed grief that the Sikkim Raj Bhawan was apathetic to the grievances submitted by SPCC as on date’, opined the SPCC in a recent press note.

According to the Congress press note, Major Gyatso requested the Home Secretary to see that police do not adopt partisan attitude in Sikkim vis-à-vis all cadre officers like IAS, IPS or even IFS & DCs who should administer without any political affiliation or leaning to the ruling party which is expected from these officers on deputation to maintain law & order and uphold uniformity of law.
