Monsoon has tumbled over Samdrupjongkhar. But undeterred, there are encounters, meetings, laughter, and a lot of learning and problem solving, often punctuated by brisk walks and swift drives in between.
Prime Minister Dr Lotay Tshering is in Phuntshothang today, his sixth gewog since the trip began in Samdrupjongkhar on May 13, 2022. After gracing the Passing out Parade of De-suups at Dewathang, the prime minister stayed back in Samdrupjongkhar to engage with all the gewogs in the dzongkhag.
โ€œI am neither here for ceremonial events, nor am I here for sightseeing,โ€ he tells all the people he meets in the gewogs. โ€œThis is a business trip and it must be meaningful. If there are issues that I can resolve immediately, I am here for that. If there are broader issues that need review or consultation, I will work on them with relevant agencies.โ€
Convinced that what happens in Thimphu, and at the central level of governance and decision making, must be made known to our rural folks, prime minister spends hours explaining to every villager, student and functionary at gewogs on pertinent national issues.

Lauri, Serthi, Langchenphu, Samrang, Pemathang and Phuntshothang are the gewogs covered so far. Prime minister and team are on the way to Martshalla gewog today. To ensure quality time and deliberations, prime minister is spending a day each in every gewog of the district.
โ€œIrrespective of whether I can visit all the gewogs in the country or not, where I can make it, I have to be able to make a positive difference,โ€ prime minister said.

Prime minister also attends Cabinet meetings and other official tasks via virtual sessions.
