In a few minutes, I was scheduled to meet PawanKumarChamling, the Chief Minister of Sikkim, at his official residence, Mintokgang, along with a select group of mediapersons from Delhi and Siliguri, for an press-interaction.
During the interaction at Mintokgang, Chief MinisterChamling was drawn into the prospects of the opening of the Silk Route and Tibet-India trade with focus on the Nathu La route, the nearest drive to China from India and also the route of the Old Yatung and Tsomga region between Sikkim and Tibet.
Chamling had also raised the question, after the Indian Prime Minister had mooted the bus to Lahore in his continuing bid to improve relations with neighbours: "Why not a bus to Lhasa now?" The demand seems to be attracting a lot of attention in the wake of the ‘Himalayan handshake’.
