	Interview: Pawan Kumar Chamling: Chief Minister of Sikkim

		Chamling had also raised the question, after the Indian Prime Minister had mooted the bus to Lahore in his continuing bid to improve relations with neighbours: "Why not a bus to Lhasa now?" The demand seems to be attracting a lot of attention in the wake of the ‘Himalayan handshake’.

		Mr Shanta Kumar’s suggestions to freeze the annual hike in the minimum support price for wheat and rice and to make Punjab and Haryana fall in line with the rest of the country with regard to the mode of procurement of the foodgrains by the central procurement agencies were rejected by the Union Cabinet.
		Though Mr Kumar refused to comment on the reasons for the Cabinet decision, he acknowledged that the country’s food stock position was in a mess and something needed to be done to get over the problem.
		Mr Kumar hoped that the state would see reason in his suggestion as procurement through the existing custom milled rice scheme bred corruption, led to purchase of inferior quality paddy and put the burden of storage on the procurement agency.
