Fields guarded, farmers of Korphu get new life in farms

It is a season of hope when farmers begin to sow seed. But for farmers in Korphu of Trongsa, it is just the beginning of their worries. Located in a protected area, wildlife confrontation is a routine. They spend sleepless nights – guarding crops. However, from the next season, they will farm with ease. Installation of the chain-link fence resumed.

From wild boars to porcupines to deer, wild animals find easy food in the fields of Korphu. But not anymore! A six-kilometre chain-link fence will answer these difficulties. The work to enclose 300 acres of land in Korphu, Nabji, and Nyimzhong is back on track.

Farmers said, from the next season, they won’t have to guard their crops against wild animals, like in the past.

“We are very happy that from here on, we would be able to harvest whatever we grow. We will even get to sleep well,” said Pema Gyeltshen, a farmer in Korphu.

Works to install the eight-foot-tall fence began in February this year but the closure of the international border delayed the import of materials which affected the work progress.

However, the work resumed recently and it is expected to complete before next month.

The Government of India’s Small Development Project scheme is funding Nu 300 M. And the fence will be an answer to the long-standing human-wildlife conflict in Korphu, and relief to about 140 families.

Passang, Trongsa
