Dagana-Surja Man Rai is one of the isolated inhabitants of the Lhamoizingkha gewog in Dagana who have been suffering from a water deficit for decades. The 133 houses in the village are mostly dependent on an adjacent creek and overflow from a WTP that has not yet provided enough services to the population. According to him, locals are forced to get water from the creek during the harsh winter water scarcity. People are having a hard time since the stream has been drying up. As part of the Government of India’s Water Flagship Program, the Drungkhag constructed a 200 cubic meter WTP. This year, in May, it was finished. The WTP would help over 2,292 people and cover 383 families when it is temporarily distributed next year.
Although the LAP was granted, Sher Bahadur Gurung stated that building work had not yet started since the whole dungkhag, which is made up of three gewogs—Lhamoizingkha, Nichula, and Karmaling—falls under GMC. After the GMC master plan is approved, the dungkhag administration will develop a comprehensive and integrated system that incorporates electricity, water supply distribution, and other cable distribution.
The Lhamoizingkha area tank, the lower Loongsilsa Chiwog tank, and the upper Loongsilsa tank are the three tanks. Tank One is the temporary distribution line, and it serves the people of Farmgaon as well as the Lhamoizingkha Thromb, Dungkhag, school, hospital, Bhutan Power Corporation Limited, and police campus. Communities in lower Loongsilsa will benefit from tank two, while Pendecholing Dratshang and higher Loongsilsa will receive supplies from tank three.
