Prem Singh Tamang, the chief minister of Sikkim, conducted an on-site inspection of significant construction and restoration projects in Gangtok as the state expedites its 50th year of statehood. The inspection included several important projects related to the Golden Jubilee festivities, which will commemorate fifty years since Sikkim became a member of the Indian Union in 1975. The state government is giving public infrastructure, ceremonial spaces, and beautification campaigns top priority, according to officials, to make sure the event reflects both historical relevance and future goals.
During his visit, CM Tamang declared, “The work being done is of immense significance, as it will not only facilitate a grand Golden Jubilee celebration but will also leave a lasting impact on the state’s development.” Tamang, accompanied by high-ranking officials, inspected the construction’s speed and quality and advocated for better departmental collaboration to fulfil deadlines. Additionally, he engaged with teams on the ground, praising their work and encouraging more vigilance. The projects’ dual goals of meeting the jubilee festivities’ immediate demands and providing long-term advantages for the Sikkim people were emphasised by the chief minister.
According to him, the improvements have to honour the state’s past while also reflecting its current state of development. He urged employees and officials to uphold high standards, saying, “We want to create a celebration that is not only memorable but also meaningful, reflecting the state’s remarkable progress over the years.” The government hopes to highlight Sikkim’s evolution over the past 50 years through cultural, civic, and developmental milestones during the Golden Jubilee, which is anticipated to attract attention from all around the region.
