Rewards for reporting stray animals in Gelephu Thromde

If you spot any stray livestock in Gelephu Thromde, you can report it to the thromde administration and receive a reward. The Thromde Tshogde adopted this initiative as part of efforts to create a more organised and mindful living environment in Gelephu, alongside designating the second day of every month as Zero Waste Day.

The Gelephu Thromde will impose fines on livestock owners who allow their animals to roam freely in the town, as this damages plants and pollutes the environment, according to the thromde.

Half of the fines collected from defaulting owners will be rewarded to individuals who report stray livestock to the thromde.

Owners will be fined Nu 1,000 for the first offence, Nu 2,000 for the second, and Nu 3,000 for the third.

Jigme Tshering, Chief Urban Planner of Gelephu Thromde said “The issue is not so much with the locals. The problem lies with cattle and goats coming in from the neighbouring border town of Dadgari. These animals make the area unhygienic and destroy flowers and plants. We have one monitoring staff member in the environment division, but it is difficult to cover the entire thromde.”

Sangye Choden, Executive Secretary of Gelephu Thromde said “I feel this system will benefit the thromde. The thromde alone cannot solve this issue when animals enter from various places.”

Meanwhile, the Thromde Tshogde has also decided that regional offices within Gelephu Thromde will now observe the second day of every month as Zero Waste Day.

On this day, office staff should collectively clean their office premises and surrounding areas.

The initiative aims to ensure that Gelephu Thromde remains clean, organised, and free of disruption, aligning with the broader objective of the Gelephu Mindfulness City.

Gelephu Thromde consists of six demkhongs.
