He said, to make it easier for the commuters to travel, there is a need to construc a road towards Paro from upper most Bji gewog via through Sagala (Talung). “For now, the road through Chelela is not easy,” he said.

DPT candidate, Sonam Tobgay, said that he lost against his other opponents because he came out as a candidate quite late and it was difficult for him to get votes.

He said that he has nothing to do with other parties or with the candidates. However, he said, “I have given everything up and came in the front. Now, I will leave everything up to the people because by now people know who to choose and why to choose.”

He also said that he comes from a humble family, whereby after knowing every hardship faced by the people, he wanted to contest and help people as best as he could.
