<br/>Describing Sikkim as an abode of peace free from insurgency and terrorism, Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling, has demanded a 'bonus' of 1000 crore rupees as reward. In an interview to PTI, he expressed surprise why the Centre had not entertained the state's claim so far. <br/><br/>Mr Chamling said financial incentives for Sikkim would set an example for other states to do better on the law and order front. The state, he said, has benefitted from the largesse given by successive central governments over the years. <br/><br/>This also speakes volumes about the strong understanding between this sensitive border state and the Centre. <br/><br/>The chief minister said Sikkim must continue to get special attention in view of its difficult terrains and lack of internal resources for sustenance and development and urged the Centre to consider keeping the Nathu La border open for trade between India and China round the year with an expanded list of goods.
