Grid power supply in rural villages of Tsirang and Dagana dzongkhags
People of remote Gewogs of Lajab, Tshangkha and Khebisa under Dagana Dzongkhag and Patshaling, Phuntenchu and Tsirangtoe under Tsirang Dzongkhag have for the first time switched on the light. The power distribution infrastructures in these Gewogs were partly charged and commissioned from December 22, 2011 to January 14, 2012. “Lajab Gewog would immensely benefit from electricity connection and this blessing would bring prosperity and happiness to the lives of our people” said Lajab Gup. “We no longer have to carry kerosene from Goshi or Dagana which is a one day walk from Khebisa”, said Bhim Bdr. Gurung, Ex-Chimi of Khebisa. With the charging of power infrastructures for these Gewogs, all 26 Geogs (except Dorona Gewog under Dagana Dzongkhag) in Tsirang and Dagana Dzongkhags have access to grid electricity supply.
