Chencho Dema / Thimphu
Vandalizing of holy chortens are becoming more common, just before a month a chorten at sha Kazi has be vandalized. On the first night the thieves could not trace out the nangten as the chorten was very long. But few days after it was completely vandalized and nangten got stolen. Police came up took the report and seems to the people the the police have completely ignored to find out the culprit behind.
