Bhutan land scam
Following Tenzing Lamsang’s report on land grab history in Bhutan, hot public debate has surfaced. There are so many resources through which Bhutanese citizens could know the fact about unreported massive corruption prevailing in Bhutan under monarchy. No matter, the whole of southern Bhutan’s land was grabbed illegally by northerners with government letting them do so, the gyelposhing land grab case is pint for the start. At this point, i just wish to share the links where Bhutanese have been discussing this unreported scandal. My SALUTE to Lamsang!

i m happy 2 study here but unlukily i will be sent 2 hostel next year
it was a valid post yet i should command my own view on this post..the land which were re -distributed to the common bhutanese citizens shouldn’t be treated as being illegally grabbed .it is our government policy to reduce unproductive lands in the southern by introducing resettlement, otherwise those unoccupied lands would have been a complete wastage to government property…..
Indeed the land taken over from the public of Gyelposhing during the year 2006 needs complete disclosure to public. The modulates used to take over the land from public. how this land taken from public be given to shopkeeper who are already rich by taking away from the poor and is now land less
My land falls in and around vicinity of Gyelposhing refuelling station which was given as KIDU by the 4th king of Bhutan to my late father ( Ex. Head Master of RGoB,Sherub Dorji). This land was taken away in the year 1996 stating that Kurichu hydro Power Project is in need of land for the project. After 15 years has passed, i am seeing private workshop, private land owner constructed building on my land with main road passing in the middle of my then land. where is kurichu hydro power project, it has not acquired my land and how comes some body who has nothing to do with KPA has settled in my land.Now, all those land are distributed to business communities and even they are having hustle about those land who are yet to be allotted the plot. first of all, i want all to know who was the owner of those land at Kurichu.After 1996 who is the owner of all those land at Kurichu. how they got those land. all the pre 1996 land owner should be called and inquired by the justice department like ACC. we wish to see our king in this land scam. Those pre 1996 land owners has given land for KPA use but not to be acquired solely by individual. some pre 1996 land owners were given money as compensation and plot of land and some land were never acquired by Dzongkhag. for me , my 2 acre wet land is acquired by dzongkhag and given Nu.60000.00 to mother stating that land is acquired for KPA Project. If it was not meant for KPA i shouldn’t have surrendered the land in first instance. i want equality and justice and that is all i can offer as last wish of my father being the eldest son working as civil servant in Bhutan having 9 brothers and sisters.
