Away from politics, ex-foreign secy continues welfare work in Siliguri
The New Indian Express
|April 21, 2024
FORMER Foreign Secretary and G20 Chief Coordinator, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, is not in the race for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, but he continues to work on the ground in Darjeeling, Siliguri, and neighbouring areas.
"My objective is to serve the people here and help them in whatever way possible, whether it's channelizing the youth who are seeking employment or working for the welfare of the elderly. I am committed to serving the community even after retirement and reaching out to common people through the Darjeeling Welfare Society, which was established nearly a decade ago," Shringla told this newspaper.
Darjeeling and the Siliguri corridor areas are strategic development initiatives that have suffered due to gaps in center-state coordination.
