It's a film by Satyajit Ray --- one that has never shown in India, courtesy the ban imposed on it by the Union Government.
The world lost track of Sikkim , the Ray documentary made at the request of the Chogyal, when the king's American wife Hope Cook left the Himalayan kingdom to go back to New York, never to return.
There are only three copies of the film left, but not in very good condition.
Can we start a campaign to restore it?

If old laws in Sikkim Are Sarosanct then entry into Djongu area of even local sikkimese people is banned without specific permit i. It should be a simple matter to stop the power projects as this permission can only be given taking into consideration the feeling and desires of people of Djongu.
should be simple matter to ban entry of anybody to dongu as entry is restricted to specific permission which when given is required to take local feelings into account.
