It was long journey on bumpy roads. It takes six hours from Tingtibi to reach my site office at
Nimshong. Again it takes two hours to reach the actual work sites. It is tough
and tiring even in vehicle on those far roads. Gewog road construction is going
on for Shingkhar and Bardo gewog under Zhemgang dzongkhag. I went to sites for
handing taking formalities to complete.
I was told to be careful with
work since the area is politically sensitive. I don’t understand why. The only
thing I know is that I am taking charge for the service of dear people. Road is
necessary for the development to progress. I never expect people disagree and
nurse a grievance.

It was inspiring to see labors,
machine operators, site supervisors and Junior Engineer work hard to reach the
road to destiny, gewog centers. The very
tiring work to drill and blast those rocky terrains is dangerous. Despite their
hard work they are not happy to hear those hard words of people’s disagreement.
They get demoralized.
I plea, people Please come to a
consensus. Let us construct and build for your own benefits. Work is getting
delay day by day.
And for time pass I wrote the
poem after listening to people how Zhemgang and Bumthang is connected. It would
be great if I get time to reach Bumthang and Mongar from Shingkhar, Zhemgang by
walk.
From Zhemgang Shingkhar to Bumthang
Shingkhar,
For excursion that seem convivial forth,
Hoping best to explore beyond
It would be time passing great.
I shalt go~
Sangay sir I am born and bred in that place. And that is my birth place as well. Yes as you said the people were barbaric in nature. They try to deceive their own fellow villagers, but they cant spaek a word to outside peopel. Regarding GC road to shingkhar I Have been sharing the concern to LG leader of the geowg, yet they lack capaility to resolve the issue at the earliset. Hope everything resume very soon.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for the same la~
DeleteGood luck brother and take care while visiting site. I know you will understand the talk of innocent villagers and convince you are patient engineer.
ReplyDeleteThank you brother. I will try my best~
DeleteIt is painful to see why the villages disagree on road alignment and halt construction, They must realize, it is them who will be suffering if the deadlock persist, if what you wrote about is about that Shingkhar farm road.
ReplyDeleteYea it is Shingkhar GC road~ Hoping for the early consensus~
DeleteSangay, you will show the villagers how much you just want to help them. Once they see they can trust you, it will be much easier. They need to let you help them. It's for their own good. Even if they can't see that now. I hope you get to do the walk.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is wonderful. :-)

DeleteSangay Sir, I have been following your blog for quite sometime now but this is the first time I am commenting. I can truly feel your concern for the innocent villagers out there. It's a sad scenario especially in the rural communities that innocent people r easily brainwashed by people with political differences. But I hope the people will begin to understand the realities and the works would b completed on time.... Thanks for sharing the story. I love your poem la. Keep posting and keep updating us....
ReplyDeleteThanks and take care la.
Thank you Amrith Sir for having your time to read and comment on my blog~ I am indeed moved. Thank you sir~ I am hoping for the best to do for the people~
DeleteSangay... I hope they understand that you just want to help them ... sometimes progress is scary to people... people are just not ready for change... once it is there, they are better for it :)
