SAVE TEESTA
The Government of Sikkim has sanctioned a total of 22 hydro power projects in Sikkim, including Dzongu in North Sikkim which is a Lepcha Reserve. This will have an immense negative impact in this ecologically fragile land. ACT or Affected Citizens of Teesta had launched their protest against these mega projects some years back. But, as can be expected, the government chose to turn a blind eye to their protests.
Recently, a small group of young people from ACT launched an indefinite hunger strike in the capital town of Gangtok to make the government rethink their decision. The hunger strike led by a young documentary film maker, Dawa Lepcha, is still on. Through these brave young people, the people of Sikkim have finally found their voice.
All visitors to this blog who wish to be a part of saving the Teesta, please visit Ani Sikkim Runcha [translation: And Sikkim Weeps] and participate in the debate. I don’t know who’s running this blog but whoever it is, that person is doing a damn good job.
Hats off to the protestors and the blog administrator!

Birdie, nice to see an update after such a long time.
I will check that blog tomorrow as i'm kinda tired of the four hour's long journey. If people are against it, then it mustn't be a good thing to set up that project,. Abject apologies for being an ignoramus about the why's ...
Good to see you back Bird. Is this a slightly altered Bird? :-) The post would suggest that you've done a lil bit of changing, from comic book heroes to environmental champions :P
Welcome back Birdieeeee! Lets rock Safd Enclave together, you and I! :) lolz.
Did ya get my mail?
Just read the link on your post. I didn't see your comment anywhere! I'm shocked! You, Birdie, not joining in on such a noble cause? Maybe a few days hunger strike would do you good :)
On a serious note, my heart really goes out in support of the Sikkimese people's plight. I'm designing a small logo right now to display on my blog linking to that particular blog. Go Green!
Good to see you're still alive (and most probably, kicking).
Don't let them tease the Teesta.
If sex is not for pleasure then what do we life for. Those puritins must have had very little sex (or have huge families). They wanna go back to Victorian England it seems.
TaG
helloooooooo
Hey you !! saw the WEEPS and yea, Just return from the wilderness. Guess u guys never taken off the hook
U married?? LOL!! Wat the hell is wrong with ur blog???
I believe that beyond the environmental aspect of the protests, there are also constitutional guarantees for the lepcha people, and indeed, also for the Sikkimese people under artcle 371f of the constitution.
For example, as per the constitution, old laws of Sikkim shall carry on being in force. One such old law prohibits any other sikkimese, or outsider from anywhere, from buying land in the Dzongu reserved area, they were infact even restricted from moving within the territory of Dzongu without valid permits.
If the laws are so stringent, how come private companies are romping all over the place buying land? Dont these laws apply to them? To delve into the constitutional justifications and guarantees accorded to the Sikkimese people during merger, we have formed a group to enquire into stuff like this so visit us at http://www.emeraldnova.com/cc371/ for more.
WAKE UPPPP!!!!!!
KD - Do I have to? What if I don't want to smell the coffee? :P
WAKE UP! If not to smell the coffee, to water the green belt on your balcony, to put the motor on, to solve the crossword in the mornings paper, to friggin find out which flyover collapsed now, and last but not the least to get out of that fart-filled blanket!
