Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang on June 6 urged the Centre to build an international business corridor in West Sikkim for improved connectivity with Nepal, which, he claimed, will boost development in the Himalayan State.
Mr. Tamang also said the Central Government appeared to be keen to consider the project, keeping in view its benefits to the people of Sikkim and added that a decision would be taken in due course.
"I had proposed an international business corridor connecting Uttarey with Chewabhanjya in West Sikkim to Nepal at the NITI Aayog meeting in the national capital recently and also took up the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he said at a function after inaugurating a forest house at Chewabhanjyang.
