It is almost
two years conceded with the construction of Therang –Shingkhar GC road with total
length of 11.32km with Nu. 48 million fund from Government of India (GoI). It has
become the most controversial road construction in the history of Department of
Roads (DoR). Many unfolding history and important happenstance has to be told
and learned. Yet within a year of my handling the project in the capacity as Project Engineer has worth progressed with few hundred meters left to reach
termination point, the Gewog center.
There were
countless hindrances and misgivings from the public. Nonetheless, I am contend to share the good news.
It is not
only the project management deserves the big applause but almost all relevant agencies
from grassroots to the prime concern ministry.
Road construction reached Shingkhar village. Image date: 31/01/2016 |
Most probably by mid of March, construction
will be completed and as per work plan, within this fiscal year, project shall
be completed. It is indeed good news for the people of Upper Kheng and mostly for
the people of Shingkhar gewog. The hardship days of walk shall be history hence.
And the first ever road project in the community is yet again a history to
remember.
Therang – Bardo – Khomshar GC road (27.1km) will take
another year for completion and the progress until date is good despite encountering tough geological terrain
for both trace cutting and formation cutting.
Buli – Nimshong – Therang GC road (49.6km) is under
maintenance and road stretch from Nimshong until Therang has improved.
Budget for various constructions of permanent
structures and bridges along aforementioned roads under Nimshong sub – division
office has been proposed and submitted for fiscal year 2016 – 2017.
Thank you public for the support and giving
me vast opportunity to learn numerous tactics in my professional life and I shall
remain grateful ever.
