Earlier CAP. members having visited Vigilance carrying out ‘ Pension not Position’ campaign said, ‘The team raised a serious concern regarding the reappointment of retired officers into key positions within the department. In the larger interest of Sikkim and its people, the team respectfully urged that such officers consider voluntarily stepping down, thereby creating space for qualified and capable young officers to serve and lead.’
‘The delegation emphasized that this campaign is a response to the increasing trend of retired officials, former leaders, and bureaucrats returning to hold public offices a practice that risks undermining public trust, weakening institutional efficiency, and blocking opportunities for the next generation of leadership.’
The core message of the campaign is clear “Choose Pension, Not Position!”
