DT Thrizins' Meeting at Laya

A meeting of Dzongkhag Tshogdu Thrizins was conducted at Laya from 21-24 October 2025 on the sideline of the Royal Highland Festival (RHF) as directed by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of Bhutan, who met the Thrizins and informed them that the meeting had been directed to be conducted at Laya coinciding with the RHF so that they could witness the festival with their own eyes and explore similar opportunities in their own Dzongkhags, Gewogs or village. Thrizins were urged to at least promote one village each in their respective Dzongkhag, such as Khoma in Lhuentse and Bumdeyling in Trashiyangtse. 
 
The meeting presented and discussed very important matters, such as the need for mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction (DRR) in the local plans and budgets, significance of community participation in the local decision-making processes through community engagement platforms (CEP), and need for local area potential based economic development (LAPBED), urging the Thrizins to explore unique local potentials and opportunities for socio-economic development, going beyond the regular plans for farm roads, irrigation canals, and community lhakhangs. Thrizins were also briefed and updated on the issues of Economic Stimulus Plan (ESP) and the way forward in the interest of the nation-building, besides economic development.
 
The Thrizins were overjoyed attending the meeting and witnessing RHF at Laya, saying it was their life-time opportunity. They expressed their heart-felt gratitude for the farsighted leadership and management of logistics at formidable heights at a paradise-like highland meadow, located at 4500 m, surrounded by breath-taking snow-capped mountains.
