Chukha residents face fuel crisis due to lone depot running dry, leading to stockpiling, inflated rates, and increased demand due to agricultural machinery usage. The problem is not just with fuel; people also have trouble getting their hands on LPG cylinders, which forces them to purchase from illegal sellers and occasionally end up with underweight cylinders. In order to improve services, the people have voiced their concerns to their local authorities and asked for an additional distributor. According to Bongo Gup Kinley, the matter has been brought to the notice of the Dzongkhag Tshogdu on several occasions and is regularly discussed in local meetings.
According to Chukha DT Thrizin Birkha Bdr Rai, the provider has made repeated promises of changes despite the fact that the issue has been brought up numerous times. Chukha Dzongda Tenzin Chophel acknowledged the persistent problem and stated that an evaluation is being conducted even if there isn’t a plan for a replacement depot just yet. Locals are still calling for a permanent solution, pleading with authorities to resolve the ongoing issue and guarantee a steady supply of gasoline. Residents are pleading with the authorities to set up a substitute depot in order to solve the gasoline demand issue.
