The final date for Lanka Town relocation has been announced. | Online Quiz

The Bumthang Dzongkhag administration had decided to evict tenants from Lhamkhar town in June and the final notice of eviction was issued in September.
This is because the lease agreement is due to expire in August

There is no opportunity to extend the deadline as the deadline for relocation from the existing township to the new location has expired.

The area includes Dekyiling, Gyalkhar and Lhamkhar, which are specially designed for the relocation of residents of the old city.
The scheme aims to protect the existing Lhamkhar from flooding and preserve commercial and residential areas and provide residential accommodation.

Relocation of tenants in Changkhar town to new locations has been delayed.

Last year, the relocation deadline was extended by a year after merchants complained that their businesses had been affected by the epidemic.
However, according to an August announcement by the Dzongkhag administration, “people should abide by the rental agreement,” he said.

Dzongkha said the Jiabo Home Affairs Department would strictly abide by the previous announcement and said it had received an order to strengthen the regulation.

The Dzongkhag administration has returned the land and properties leased by tenants under a previous agreement, and according to the letter, the buildings should be demolished and restored.

After September 15th, drinking water, electricity and all other facilities will be provided and tenants must also pay delivery, cancellation and 1 year deferral rent before this date.

Organ Sengye, the town representative, said the land will be used to relocate traders from Lhamkhar town, and a new site has been prepared and a relocation plan is in place to ensure smooth operations. They also conducted a survey.

The new venue has all the necessary facilities, water and electricity, and “there won’t be much inconvenience,” he said.
Organ Sengye said plans to relocate to a new location had been drawn up and they were well aware of the importance of being prepared for delays, and tenants had been informed that there would be some inconveniences during the relocation process.
They had to relocate from Lanka town because the town was at risk of flooding and the country’s economy was slowing down as a result.
