Gangtok, Oct 25: Sikkim Bhutia Lepcha Apex Committee (SIBLAC) has demand a comprehensive Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the controversial Teesta Dam project.

The recent disaster, which was a tragic combination of natural and man-made factors, has raised questions that demand urgent answers.

The natural causes of the catastrophe include the mounting impact of global warming and other climatic changes that have accelerated the degradation of the region’s fragile environment.

This call for an investigation follows the recent catastrophic Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) that ravaged parts of North Sikkim, East Sikkim, and South Sikkim, leaving a trail of devastation, anguish, and uncertainty in its wake.

The plea by SIBLAC’s Convener underlines that the demands are being expressed in a personal capacity, without affiliation to any political party.

The previous government’s decision to move forward with the Teesta Dam project disregarded the dire warnings issued by scientific studies that illuminated the dangers inherent to such a project.

Despite vehement protests from local communities, the government pressed forward, initiating a project with a questionable foundation.
