Ms Constance Jehu, the great-granddaughter of Major J.L.R. Weir, a former British Political Officer of the erstwhile Kingdom of Sikkim, paid a courtesy visit to the Hon’ble Governor of Sikkim, Shri Om Prakash Mathur, at the Raj Bhavan today.

During her visit, Ms. Jehu shared her family’s historical connection to Sikkim through Major Weir, who served as the British Political Officer from 1928 to 1933. Major Weir resided in the then Residency, which is now the present-day Raj Bhavan.

Ms. Jehu also expressed her admiration upon visiting the residence where her ancestors once lived and constructed nearly a century ago. She conveyed her profound appreciation for the fact that, despite the passage of time, the building remains in excellent condition. Ms. Jehu extended her gratitude to the Raj Bhavan administration for its exemplary upkeep of the property.
