Sikkim: CM Golay inaugurated District Administrative Centre for Soreng district

Chief Minister P.S. Golay inaugurated the District Administrative Centre (DAC) for the newly formed Soreng district on Thursday in Soreng. The Chief Minister thanked the people of Soreng district and the new district authorities during his speech at Soreng field.

He emphasised how, despite a two-year financial crisis caused by the Covid epidemic, the SKM administration kept its commitment to raise Soreng from a subdivision to a district. “Soreng district is now a reality and I am hopeful that everyone will keep aside their ego and work for the betterment of Soreng in unity and co-ordination in making it an aspirational district”, added Golay assuring full support from his side.

The Chief Minister asked the ministers and heads of departments in charge of the relevant departments to begin development of the new district's infrastructure as soon as possible.

He also emphasised the district's upcoming institutions and initiatives in the health, education, and tourist sectors.

He promised that with the decentralisation of the West district, government agencies would function more effectively and that the public would profit the most since the programmes would be more freely available.

He directed officials to ensure that the schemes announced by the government benefit the people. He emphasised the significance of providing doorstep governance as well as digital or paperless work.

Area MLA Aditya Golay described the opening of the district administrative centre in Soreng as a "historical moment and a realisation of a long-cherished dream for the people of Soreng district" in his speech.

He stated that granting district status to the Soreng subdivision was a long-standing demand that was met during the SKM administration.

“Now the long cherished dream has been realised and the people involved in various capacities for the upgradation of Soreng as a district deserve our gratitude. Thank you all for your sincere contributions", Aditya said.
