Prem Singh Tamang, the chief minister of Sikkim, has urged the Central government to create a free-trade warehousing zone or Organic Food Park in the State with a focus on exports.
He also asked the central government to establish a multi-modal corridor with a contemporary integrated check post connecting the State of Sikkim and Eastern Nepal through Chewa Bhanjyang during the recently held 8th Meeting of the Governing Council of NITI Aayog in New Delhi.
Highlighting the significance to MSMEs in the state, he said that most of the MSMEs in the state are based on mountain agriculture heritage and services like tourism, health, education, energy, and traditional crafts.
In this regard, he requested the NITI Aayog to establish an export-oriented, industry-empowered Organic Food Park cum Free Trade Warehousing Zone in the State.
