Northeast Desk, 5th April: Residents of Gangtok are grappling with a severe water crisis, posing a significant challenge to their daily lives. Pema Wangyal Rinzing, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidate for the Gangtok Constituency in the upcoming 2024 elections, has taken a resolute stance on tackling this longstanding issue.
During a recent visit to the area, Rinzing expressed deep concern over the dire situation faced by residents, questioning if the water of the Himalayas is depleted. He emphasized the severity of the crisis, noting its persistence for years due to inadequate management, leaving many households deprived of this essential resource while malls and hotels enjoy uninterrupted supply.
Rinzing expressed regret witnessing such suffering and stressed the urgency of addressing the water management system not only in Gangtok but throughout Sikkim. Promising action, he pledged to enlist the expertise of top technicians from India and abroad to implement effective solutions, including a secondary water supply system to ensure every citizen has access to clean water.
Acknowledging the diverse community of Gangtok, characterized by its educated and literate population, Rinzing expressed gratitude to national and state BJP leaders for selecting him as the candidate for the 27th Gangtok Constituency. Drawing upon his extensive experience in the Sikkim government, where he served for over three decades before retiring as a government secretary in 2016, Rinzing affirmed his commitment to addressing various challenges faced by the people.
Highlighting tourism as a cornerstone of Sikkim’s economy, Rinzing expressed confidence in his ability to contribute positively to the welfare of citizens if elected. From revitalizing business and trade to tackling unemployment, he vowed to utilize his administrative experience to serve the people of Gangtok diligently if elected to power.
