While the dzongkhag has made it mandatory to set up such entertainment ventures in concrete buildings, the people say, there are no empty spaces available in the locality.
According to Lhuentse Dzongda, Sonam Wangyel, this is for the safety of the general public. And the criteria for entertainment ventures are set up by the Bhutan InfoComm and Media Authority (BICMA).
On the other hand, some of the residents say, the Dzongkhag is not supportive.
There are only five buildings in Lhuentse, and all of them are occupied.
