Bhutanese Czars of Plastic and culture.

Bhutanese official minions love stretching powers to the extreme? Or they are under secretive orders?

1. In late 1980s, Dzongkhag officials in the South took culural aspiration to the extreme by intruding into the homes of southerners to penalise/ harrass anyone not wearing gho and kira. Thus in the process created a conducive environment for anti- monarchy sentiment.  

2. Today in 2019, Phuentsholing Thromde and Police started confisticating plastic carry on bags in the month of March,  much ahead of 1st April the government declared effective day for ban on plastic bags. 

3. And come April now the officials are snooping into shops including refrigerators sniffing out plastic to harass business enterprises. Seems such police and Thromde vigilante teams  are partly out to settle past personal scores/ grievances or they are under different directive?

Cannot welcome another social unrest. But such things here and there coupled with many other things could end the peacefulness of this Druk Yul. Please DNT governnent, why this DISTRACTION ? Can be costly in more ways than imagined. Do not take away the all important feeling of secured harmony within the Bhutanese society.

Let us preserve and promote our culture. Let us tackle this plastic pollution. But why the extreme measures to disrupt and destroy social harmony and harrass the society at the slightest pretext?
