Why is Gangtok called the 'city of hard-working people' (मेहनती बादशाहों का शहर) in the chapter 'Sana-Sana Hath Jodi'?

Question

Accepted Answer

Gangtok is called the 'city of hard-working people' because of the relentless efforts of its inhabitants who have carved a beautiful city out of the rugged and difficult mountainous terrain. The life of the people here is extremely tough, yet they do not complain. Women can be seen breaking stones on the roads to widen them, often with their young children tied to their backs in baskets (doko). Even young children walk several kilometers up steep hills to attend school and assist their parents with household chores like fetching wood and water. Every facility and beauty in Gangtok is a result of the sweat and hard work of these mountain people, making the title highly appropriate.
