The Sikkim Assembly passed its interim budget of Rs 3,566.29 crore for six months of the financial year 2019-20 along with two other Bills.
Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling, who also holds the Finance portfolio presented the interim budget for Rs 3,566.29 crore the first day of the two-day session.
The two Bills are the Sikkim Regulation of Transfer of Land (Amendment) Bill, 2019 and the Sikkim Prohibition of Beggary (Amendment) Bill, 2019.
The other bill that follows a Supreme Court order, proposes to amend The Sikkim Prohibition of Beggary Act, 2004, which casts stigma on people suffering from leprosy.
Two MLAs of opposition Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) and one Independent member boycotted the House proceedings alleging that the brief session deprived them from putting up questions before the State Government.Later the House was adjourned sine die.
Notably, this was in all probability the last session of this Assembly. Sikkim goes to the Assembly poll along with the general elections likely in April.
