After decades of waiting, Rangjung town will finally be upgraded into a satellite town in Trashigang. The recent Dzongkhag Tshogdu decided Rangjung town to be its satellite town.
Works to develop Rangjung into a satellite town were carried out long ago. The town today has all the facilities to qualify as a satellite town. But due to insufficient population in the town, the idea to upgrade Rangjung into a satellite town was shelved.
The recent Dzongkhag Tshogdu once again decided to upgrade into a satellite town.
The local leaders were divided on the issue, as of the three towns; Kanglung, Wamrong and Rangjung, only one has to be upgraded into a satellite town. The local leaders wanted towns near their gewogs to be upgraded into a satellite town.
