MP Indra Hang Subba attends inaugural meeting of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Water Resources

Indra Hang Subba, the sole Lok Sabha representative from Sikkim, was present at the inaugural meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Water Resources. The committee, newly formed to scrutinise policies and programmes related to the nation’s water resources, convened its first session under the chairmanship of senior parliamentarians.

During the meeting, members discussed the committee’s mandate, procedural guidelines and the agenda for upcoming reviews of water management projects across states. Subba’s participation underscores Sikkim’s interest in water resource issues, given the state’s reliance on hydro‑electric power and pristine river systems.

The standing committee will meet periodically to examine bills, budgets and performance reports of ministries handling water supply, irrigation, and flood control, and will submit its findings to the Parliament for further action.
