Wide river and stream cleaning

The Dzongkhag administration coordinated Dzongkhag-wide river and stream cleaning drive today.

Key Outcomes of the drive:

 Waste Collected: Solid waste, including debris were removed from the banks and water of Yuri river, Zungri stream, Marung stream to prevent formation of artificial lake and flash flood

 Organizations Involved: Dzongkhag Administration, Royal Bhutan Police and Regional offices, business community

 Nganglam Drungkhag and Gewogs: All 11 Gewogs and Drungkhag under the Dzongkhag in their respective areas

 Others: DeSuup volunteers

The collaborative effort not only contributed to improving the physical environment and aquatic life along and in these water bodies but also strengthed community ties and increased environmental awareness among citizens of all ages. The events served as a powerful reminder of the collective responsibility in safeguarding Bhutan’s natural resources for all time to come.

This drive will be held on a regular basis.
