Tamang stated that he had convened a meeting at Samman Bhawan with senior officials from the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), Border Roads Organisation (BRO), and Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) to discuss the land issues affecting road projects in the state.

He explored potential solutions to streamline the land acquisition process and examined specific cases that had hindered project progress. Additionally, he discussed strategies to effectively resolve these disputes. Tamang emphasized the importance of collaboration among the agencies to expedite infrastructure development while addressing the concerns of landowners.

Attendees of the meeting included Chief Secretary VB Pathak, DGP AK Singh, secretaries from various line departments, and district collectors.

Officials reported that Sikkim incurs financial losses of over Rs 5 billion each monsoon season due to heavy rains, which lead to landslides that severely damage roads and bridges. The frequent closure of NH-10A, the sole highway connecting Sikkim to the rest of the country, disrupts normal life in the border state.
