constituencies on February 4. He urged the members to highlight the party’s
achievements and communicate the government’s developmental work effectively to
the people of Sikkim during the celebrations, the SKM release informs.

into villages and towns, which has raised concerns. It was decided to strictly

of the government’s broader developmental vision, the release mentions.

meeting also discussed the constitution of a State Planning & Development
Board along with sister boards at the constituency level. The State-level board

constituency-level committees will oversee development and planning activities
within their respective areas.
In
addition, the Chief Minister informed the members about his upcoming pilgrimage
tour to Mahakumbh, scheduled for February 7, where he will lead a delegation of
legislators. The pilgrimage has been arranged following an invitation extended
by the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath.
