 "Sikkim Lokayukta Bill gets presidential nod")
Gangtok: The Sikkim Lokayukta Bill has got the presidential assent turning it into an act seeking to check corruption in the state, official sources said on Tuesday. After the passage in Sikkim Assembly on 29 December, 2010, the bill was sent on the same day to the state governor who, in turn, forwarded it for presidential nod on 13 January, 2011.

The delay in getting the president’s signature could be the effort of the Central government to formulate and pass the Lokpal Bill, the sources said. PTI
