The passengers of Nepal and Bhutan will
now be able to visit Sikkim through bus service within a vary
short time. The Sikkim Nationalized Transport has decided
to introduce two new buses to cater to passenger heading for
Nepal and Bhutan. The necessary step has been taken and the
proposal been sent to the transport department and West Bengal
State Transport Corporation.
Among the two buses one will run from Gangtok
to Panitanki, the Nepal border and the other bus will run
from Gangtok to Jaigaon, Bhutan border. To buy two new buses
for border services is on the anvil and the fund has been
set aside. The utility of transport has a long history. The
transport of border exited even during the Chogyal regime
when Sikkim was a kingdom. The transport gives a new way to
Sikkim and Sikkim will receive a large number of tourists
from Nepal and Bhutan due to this.
