GANGTOK, 22 May: Sikkim Krantikari Morcha has condemned the state government’s announcement of making second Saturdays working days from now onwards. Terming it an act of “betrayal” against government employees, the party has said that the government should instead declare all Saturdays as holidays giving Sikkim a 5-day week system.
In a press release, SKM has said that “benefits” hitherto enjoyed by government employees should not be withdrawn.
The party has also alleged that businessmen who want their trade licenses renewed are also being denied and being told that renewal of licenses will take place only after the rates are increased. The party states that rates of trade license renewal are already high and should be reduced instead of being increased. Renewals should also not be delayed for any reason, it adds.
SKM has further condemned bursting of firecrackers at MG Marg by members of Sikkim Democratic Front party on 21 May. MG Marg is a smoke free zone and such an act is in complete violation of the law in force, the party contends further adding that “SKM strongly opposes such activities which tortures government employees, business communities and public in general”.
