Government Helicopter Support Reaches the South After Days of Disruption

By

After several days of isolation caused by heavy rains and washed-away bridges, the Royal Government of Bhutan has finally deployed helicopter services to the southern regions today, bringing much-needed relief and hope to the stranded communities.

The incessant rainfall last Sunday severely affected transportation networks, cutting off road access to several areas, including Dorokha and Denchukha. With no other option, residents had even begun relying on private helicopter services to transport essentials and reach safety.

Today, government helicopters have been actively airlifting stranded students, teachers, civil servants, and other individuals from the affected areas. The service is also prioritizing the transportation of animal feed and essential food supplies, ensuring that both people and livestock receive timely assistance.

According to officials, public lifting will be facilitated if time and conditions remain favorable, as relief operations continue with urgency and coordination.

This swift and compassionate response reflects the government’s unwavering commitment to its people during times of crisis.

The residents of Dorokha and Denchukha have expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Royal Government of Bhutan for the timely intervention and support.

A special note of appreciation goes to the following individuals and offices for their tireless leadership and coordination since the very first day of the disaster:

  • Honourable Dasho Tashi Dendup (National Council)
  • Honourable Dasho Ugyen Lama (National Assembly)
  • Dasho Dzongdha
  • Dasho Drungpa (Dorokha)
  • Dasho OC (Dorokha)
  • Gewog officials and all the dedicated civil servants

Your leadership, coordination, and commitment have made a real difference in the lives of those affected. The people of the South remain deeply grateful for your service and compassion. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````

The problem stems from a lack of real-time communication between the online booking system and the traditional ticket counters.  According to sources, counter staff are not always aware of bookings made through the mobile app.  This leads to the same seat being sold twice – once online and again at the counter.  The driver explained that counter staff should be able to check the availability of seats immediately and cross-reference with the app before issuing tickets.  Currently, this reconfirmation process is not consistently being followed, resulting in passengers who have ...
