Thank you Surabhi Singh for your kind words.

Thank you very much for your kind words.
Like a seasonal business, River People is taken seriously during the monsoon. Hope it alerts the alerted whenever necessary with the torrents of Mighty Teesta and Rangeet.

Thank you for providing valuable comments.
The sole purpose of this story was to highlight all the unimaginable tragedies which is annually getting uncontrollable. The construction of dams in Sikkim has led to a sudden rise of calamities that is affecting everyone who had once worshipped these two beautiful rivers which has always provided everyone with beautiful memories, songs and 'lores', like you rightfully said.

Thank your for your thoughtful comments. Yes, though the fictional events in this story takes place in Sikkim, the calamities (natural and artificial) that is taking place every year in Sikkim and beyond is scarily far from being an imagination. I'm hopeful that this story's message flows to everyone’s attention for the need of the hour is to Save Teesta and Rangeet before it is out of our control.

Thank You Anum!
When I decided to write this story, it was with a heavy heart that I had to choose such a sad theme instead of how beautiful and life giving the two Mighty Teesta and Rangeet have been to everyone in Sikkim and beyond. Hopefully, with your songs and SOFIYUM Band as a whole, and a bit of a story like River People, the new generation can feel the loss and see the impact (social, cultural, environmental etc.) before it's too late.
Tokchi Anum!

Thank you for your thoughts on the - River People. I'll surely write more about similar issues concerning Sikkim and its neighbouring regions with a local literary flavour.
