Barshong village at Naro Gewog in Thimphu, grapples with recurrent power outages, leaving its residents in prolonged darkness. According to villagers, the disruptions are due to fallen trees on electrical poles caused by windstorms, snowfall, and landslides. Normally, the Bhutan Power Corporation clears the surroundings of the poles, but in Barshong, the area falls within the jurisdiction of the Jigme Dorji National Park, preventing clearance operations. The residents eagerly await a viable solution to address this issue.
