PM to reach Sikkim on Monday to attend 50 years of statehood ceremony, launch Rs 4,000 cr projects
Gangtok (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to reach Sikkim on Monday for a two-day tour, during which he will hold a roadshow, attend the closing ceremony of 50 years of statehood and launch projects worth Rs 4,000 crore, officials said.
Elaborate security arrangements have been put in place in the state capital and surrounding areas in view of Modi's visit, they said.
According to the itinerary of his visit, Modi will arrive in Gangtok around 3 pm and will hold a roadshow to Lok Bhawan here soon after landing at Libing helipad.
The Prime Minister will visit the Orchidarium in Gangtok the next day. To showcase the ecological and floral heritage of the state, a "Swarnajayanti Maitri Manjari Park" has been developed as a world-class Orchid Experience Centre on the golden jubilee of Sikkim's statehood.
He will launch multiple development projects worth over Rs 4,000 crore across the state while participating in the closing ceremony of Sikkim's 50th year of statehood at Paljor Stadium.
The projects span a wide range of sectors, including infrastructure, connectivity, healthcare, education, power, urban development, environment, tourism and agriculture, the officials said.
The Prime Minister will also address the gathering on the occasion, the officials said.
Modi had been scheduled to be present at the opening ceremony of the year-long celebrations of 50 years of Sikkim's statehood at Paljor Stadium last year, but he could not reach the venue due to inclement weather. He, however, addressed the gathering through video conferencing from Bagdogra in neighbouring West Bengal.
