He also asked for the release of payments on the compound walling of Middle School Rasermo which was constructed by VEC last year.

Earlier, he also met EC, Works Dorjay Motup and requested for the removal of debris accumulated by the flood last year on cultivable land and the repair of the water supply system at Khardong Pharka.

Human waste/excreta in the open areas around North Pullu are being flushed into the stream.
