This happens only in Sikkim

Two popular eateries located at MG Marg here had to shut down on Sunday after Government officials raided in their premises.

The District Collector (East), Vishal Chauhan, inspected the two establishments- Quick Bite Fast Food and Rasoi Restaurant, above Tourist Information Center along with officials from the Sikkim Food and supplies department, following several complaints lodged by their customers.

The surprise raids were the outcome of many complaints received by the DC’s Office over the use of domestic LPG cylinders by these two eateries, against standard norms for commercial establishments.

Along with this, the DC’s Office had also been receiving complaints of unhygienic conditions of these two eateries located in the heart of the Capital.

Several customers had made complaints over the lack of hygiene in the kitchens of the two restaurants.

That's why I always say Sikkim is Heaven.

When I was staying in Gangtok the late 80's and 90's, the one thing that I really approved of was the way in which the Government took its role seriously as a positive force.

And also how citizens took their civic duties seriously.

I wish the enlighetened citizens of BIHAR, the ones who are so interested in seeing their State get a better deal, read the full story and cick on the link.

Bihar can never hope to see unhygenic eateries shut down, or being raided for defrauding the government by sing domestic gas cylinders in a commercial establishment. It's because the local administartion is corrupt to the core, and simply because citizens don't care to be informed.
