In Sikkim, Additional Chief Secretary of Tourism C.S. Rao said that Doklam and Cho La will be opened for tourists by 15th of December this year under the Centre’s battlefield tourism. Earlier, both the strategic locations were scheduled for inauguration on the 27th of September, but later the state government fixed a new deadline. Talking to the media at Gangtok, Mr Rao said that all pending works are now being fast-tracked. He stated that infrastructure works at the sites are expected to be completed soon so that visitors could reach both the sites. Doklam is located at an altitude of nearly 14 thousand feet and about 70 km away from the capital, Gangtok. Cho La is mostly remembered for the 1967 India – Chinese troops’ clash.
