Gangtok:Its now three weeks since the indefinite hunger strike by Members of ACT led by Dawa Lepcha and Tenzing Lepcha began.Tashi Lepcha, Pempa Lepcha and Mingma Lepcha from Burtuk along with Kalzang Lepcha and Dawa Tshering Lepcha from Dzongu have also joined the indefinite hunger strike today .
As pointed out in its editorial today Now Daily! Time has come to stress the point that three week hunger strike led by Dawa and Tenzing have succeeded in highlighting the issue of power projects in north Sikkim. Now the primary issue should shift towards the concern for health and well being of the strikers like the original duo of Dawa & Tenzing and their well wishers and coordinator & Ad visors of ACT should now rethink and response to the call of withdrawal of hunger-strike without any conditions and restart a more result oriented and fruitful discussion with Government of day which would be certainly more than accountable to the points and problems put forth in last 21 days as it is led by none other than the man who has been not so long ago was awarded as "Greenest CM" and well known for his concern and care for the environment in the true sense of word.
