Chapchha Dzong likely to be rebuilt during 12th Five Year Plan

 Chapchha Dzong in Chhukha had been an important place for leaders of western region since decades ago. But today, if one visits the site, its historical significance seems reduced with dilapidated state of the structure.

The walls of the dzong, believed to be nearly 400 years old have developed huge cracks. It stands in a fragile state overlooking Chapchha Gewog.

Locals are not happy with the current condition of the dzong.

“I have seen Rabjam staying here and also this dzong has served as a school. After the dzong was relocated in Chhukha, the structure was damaged by rainfall and earthquake,” said a farmer, Dorji Gyeltshen.

“Government officials came here and took pictures of damaged structure and we hoped renovation might happen but till date nothing has been done.”

Locals said it is high time the dzong is restored not just for its historical significance but also for the safety of the children studying in the school located nearby.

Students are often spotted playing in front of the dzong which is risky. Like in many Dzongkhag Tshogdu meetings in the past, the renovation issue was discussed during the recent sitting in March as well.

“As per the law, we cannot dismantle the structure. So people suggest if it could be developed into a library or museum,” said Tobgay, Gup of Chapchha Gewog, adding that it will help attract tourists.

The former Dzongda Pemba Wangchuk said the dzong must be rebuilt if deemed necessary for preservation. However, he added renovation is not advisable.

The Dzongkhag Tshogdu will look into the possibility of putting up a proposal for the reconstruction of the dzong in the 12th Five Year Plan.
