New post-funeral ritual shed inaugurated at 3rd Mile Bojoghari under Initiative of Area MLA Thenlay Tshering Bhutia

A special shed for performing post-funeral rituals as per Sanatan Dharma (Hindu) customs has been successfully constructed at 3rd Mile, Bojoghari, alongside the North Sikkim Highway.

This initiative has been taken under the guidance and vision of the Honourable Area MLA and Advisor, Shri Thenlay Tshering Bhutia. The project reflects the spirit of unity, as it was completed through the voluntary support and contributions from the general public, cutting across caste, creed, religion, and gender. Residents from all backgrounds came together to support this noble cause, which aims to provide a peaceful and respectful space for performing important last rites and rituals after cremation.

The official handing over of the shed, along with a ritualistic puja, was held at the newly constructed site in a solemn ceremony. The function was graced by Shri Thenlay Tshering Bhutia himself, who attended as the chief guest. In his brief address, he expressed gratitude to the local community for their support and highlighted the importance of preserving cultural and religious practices while also ensuring public convenience.

Also present on the occasion were several dignitaries including Mayor Shri Neil Chettri, newly appointed Advisor Shri Shangay Sherpa, Chairman Shri Phurba Sherpa, Councillor Shri Palzor Lepcha, along with former councillors, retired government officials, senior citizens, and many members of the local community.
