In support of and endorsing the demand of Save Sikkim Organisation (SSO) West Sikkim, SIBLAC has sought clarification from Additional District Collector (ADC), West Sikkim Bhim Thatal with the following questions: - What necessitated and demanded ADC-Mr. Bhim Thatal to visit the private power project sites of west Sikkim without any information to the people affected by the projects and whose very survival is at stake. - While decision for 97MW Tashiding Hydro Project is lying pending before Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Govt. of India sent by Hon’ble Sikkim High Court, what obligated ADC (W) to visit the site? In a press release, SIBLAC calls for an immediate clarification from ADC (West) on above queries since there are already two FIRs filed in the Tikjuk Police Station, Gyalshing, West Sikkim dated 27th. Sept. 2013 by SIBLAC and SSO against the company M/s Shiga Energy Pvt. Ltd, Secretaries of the following departments; State Energy & Power department, State Forest & Env. Department, Ecclesiastical Department and District Collector (W) for failing in the delivery of their responsibilities in accordance to the appropriate provision of the law, thereby abusing their official position in licensing Mr. T. Nagendra Rao the owner of executing company, without restriction to run its activities illegally in its own whim and fancies under their nose. “Hence, SIBLAC demands ADC (W) should explicitly come out with a detail report on his visit at different project sites mentioning purpose of visit, person interacted with, issues discussed, assurances given if any, present condition at sites, any action initiated against project proponent etc. as to maintain transparency and accountability to the general public,” states SIBLAC
