KATHMANDU: Actor and model Chhiring Sherpa has successfully climbed Sagarmatha (Mt Everest). She reached atop the world's highest peak on Sunday and unfurled the first poster of her upcoming movie 'Tashi Delek' and also the flags of various organisations on the summit.    
Following her ascent of Sagarmatha, Sherpa underscored on raising voice in the national and international level for mitigating the impact of climate change in the mountain region. Informing about her climbing success via social media, she stressed on investing some portion of the revenue received from the mountaineers for the development of the mountainous region.    
In her message on social media, Chhiring also called for creating an environment where in the Sherpa community can connect itself to every state apparatus, rather than merely taking them as the mountaineers.    
She urged the state to keep the geographically remote mountainous region in special priority and make plans for its development. Chiiring also called for putting in place a mechanism wherein the climbers will have instant access to information.    
She also underlined on the need of managing the challenges and the problem of 'too many climbers on Everest', as well as of making the climbing profession 'decent'. -- RSS
