A JOURNEY FROM YOUTH LIBRARY TO YOUTH OXYGEN.
International Youth Day – 12th August celebrated by Youth Library Founder, Sikkim.
On the occasion of International Youth Day -12th August, the HGTI (Himalchuli Group of Tourism Industries) celebrated this grand occasion at the Waterfall Resort & Homestay at Rumtek, East Sikkim, under the special theme of this year prescribed by the UNO as “ SAFE SPACES FOR YOUTH”.
The Chairman of IJAC (Investigative Journalisms Award Committee, Sikkim) Mr. S. K. Bardewa introduced the “Portable Oxygen safety scheme” for the Youth and general Public & patients in Sikkim and mainly for the incoming tourist visiting high altitude areas of Sikkim for touring.
That there has been several cases when tourists have died in high altitude due to heart attack and breathing problems because of the unavailability of the timely first aid due to remote location or the readily un-availability of the portable Oxygen.
At the function which was attended by Village Youths, Mr. Bardewa introduced – life saving portable Oxygen cylinders which are very indispensable for the Youthful Mountaineers and to all tourist visiting high altitude areas of Sikkim. Shri. SK Bardewa has eventually suggested the Govt. of Sikkim to make this “life-saving practice mandatory” for all high altitude tourist vehicles and even at the remote Primary Health Centre/s (PHC) in Sikkim so that our Youth who get infected in drug addiction could save their lives with a portable Oxygen as an immediate first aid relief.
Mr. SK Bardewa insisted on the facts that not only Oxygen but management of Library also works as intellectual Life Saving device at this competitive World especially in Sikkim.
Further, the CEO of HGTI, have been asked to coordinate with Youths to initiate Youth awareness in Sikkim for self-health precautions with this vital Life-saving /portable product.
