“To our sisters and brothers in Sikkim, I send my best wishes on the golden jubilee of your Statehood,” Sarma said in a post on X.

Enjoying protectorate status under the Union of India after the country’s Independence in 1947, Sikkim became an Indian state in 1975 following a referendum, and the state has since made rapid strides on various socio-economic development parameters.

“Nestled amidst lush greenery and affectionate people, the state has positioned itself as a model of sustainable development,” Sarma added.

He wished for the state’s continued growth and prosperity. (PTI)
