District Administration imposes section 144 ahead of Sikkimey Nagrik Samaj rally which was scheduled to be held on July 11.

The District Magistrate has issued an order to impose CrPC 144 from July 9 till July 12, right in the cusp of a brewing protest rally against the government’s inaction towards SC Gupta who is alleged of corruption. The rally was to be organised under the aegis of Sikkimey Nagarik Samaj who had just formed a ‘Joint Action Committee’ comprising of various politicians of the opposing parties and social activists to support their cause.

A Joint Action Committee had been formed under Sikkimey Nagrik Samaj consisting of several civil organizations as well as opposition parties to pressure the government to initiate action against Chief Secretary SC Gupta. Gupta has been alleged of siphoning state funds, as SNS have levelled serious allegations of financial misappropriation against him.

A meeting of various parties and groups along with members of SNS came into fruition as they formed that Joint Action Committee on Thursday. A protest rally was to be taken out on Monday, 11 July at MG Marg, owing to inaction by the government against Gupta.
