The duo of Dawa Lepcha and Tenzing Lepcha who had earlier sat on an indefinite hunger strike for 63 days have again started an indefinite hunger strike from today. Joining them this time is Gaybu Lepcha from Lingdem and Ongchok Lepcha form Tingvong North Sikkim. On being questioned about the resumption of the hunger strike, Dawa says, “The State government’s failure to come up with an appropriate solution, compelled us to once again redressal our demand by going for the indefinite strike.”
“We want the government to give us proper solution, as the matter is very much crucial and sensitive,” he said adding “We have a plan to organize more such rallies in the days to come to make our issue and demand alive.”
