Community in Ganglakhema gets road
The road for Ganglakhema chiwog under Khoma gewog finally finished construction last week. The road works started in 2011.
The community did not have road facilities and they had to travel on horseback or walk on foot.
“It used to take them more than 24 hours to reach their destiny,” said the Gewog Gup Sithar Tshering. Now with the 13 km road, people will reach places within three hours.
The Gewog gup said that there was a delay in the construction since there was heavy rainfall and many areas were slashed-off due to landslides.
The budget allocated for the road construction was more than Nu 1mn.
Meanwhile the gewog is constructing another road for Tshengo gewog, which will be completed within the next four months.
