With not even a month left for the country to reopen its tourism, relevant agencies in the capital have come together to clean and beautify the city.

Police in Dagapela arrested a 65-year-old man for the alleged rape of a minor yesterday. The minor is a 16-year-old girl studying in one of the schools in Dagana.

The days of using a ropeway as a lifeline to cross the Mochhu will be over by October for the residents of Bhalue chiwog at Chhubu Gewog in Punakha. The district administration has now taken over the construction of a bailey bridge over the river after the contractor missed several deadlines.

It was in 2019 when the residents of Mendrupling village at Phuntshothang Gewog in Samdrup Jongkhar were promised a motorable bridge over the Deklai river. Three years on, there is no sight of bridge construction. The residents say a motorable bridge has now become the need of the hour if the village is to see any development.

And the villagers of two chiwogs have been walking from one road point to another using a suspension bridge. Now, they are requesting the works and human settlement ministry to construct a motorable bridge at the earliest.
