Nangla Gewog cuts down activities due to limited budget
Nangla gewog had numerous developmental activities planned for the 11th Five Year Plan (FYP) but their budget ceiling has reduced the planned activities.
The Gewog Gup Rinchen Wangdi said that the budget allotted for each gewog for the 11th FYP was Nu 38mn. However the Gup said that they have prioritized the most important activities for the 11th FYP.
“Our main activities were construction of farm roads and to boost developmental activities,” he added.
Meanwhile the gewog has started construction on a 6km farm road for Marang and Yudung villages. At the moment these villages don’t have road facilities and they have to walk by foot or travel on horseback which takes them more than two hours.
“More than 15 households will benefit when the road facilities are accessible to these villages,” said the Gup.
