The Sikkim Bhutia Lepcha Apex Committee (SIBLAC) has urged the Sikkim government to initiate high-level talks to facilitate the return of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorjee, to Rumtek Monastery. SIBLAC highlighted the Karmapa's ongoing visit to Bhutan as a crucial opportunity and reminded the government of its electoral promise to prioritize this issue. The Rumtek throne has been vacant for 45 years since the 16th Karmapa's death in 1981.
