Police plans to install shock sensors to prevent chorten vandalismTo prevent chorten vandalism, police are planning to install shock sensors inside the chortens.

Records maintained by the police show that nearly 4,000 chortens and lhakhangs were vandalised in the last 27 years.

Police say various measures were put in place but people still continue to desecrate these important structures making it difficult for the law enforcement agencies and local communities to monitor illegal activities. They say if the suspects are from the same locality, it becomes even more difficult to get information.

The Chief of Police, Brigadier Kipchu Namgyel said shock sensors will be placed inside the chorten. The sensor will transmit the message to the control room if anyone digs the chorten.

Police has also plans to cover the chortens with concrete but there is no budget.

According to the Penal Code of Bhutan, chorten vandalism is a felony of first degree liable for life imprisonment.

The first chorten vandalism case was reported in Paro in Mid 1970s. Today there are more than 8,000 chortens in the country.
