In her message on social media, Chhiring also called for creating an environment where the Sherpa community can connect itself to every state apparatus, rather than merely taking them as the mountaineers.
She urged the state to attach special priority to the geographically remote mountainous region and make plans for its development. Chhiring also called for putting in place a mechanism wherein the climbers have instant access to information.
She also underlined the need for managing the challenges and problem of 'too many climbers on Everest', as well as of making the climbing profession 'decent'.
