Children happy over school bus gift

The gift of a school bus by Parliamentary Secretary (Hydro-Power) and Dirang MLA Phurpa Tsering during the recent Independence Day celebrations at Dirang has brought smiles in the faces of school children as it would ease their arduous journey of 15 kms on foot everyday to reach their schools.
The 30-seater bus costing Rs 10 lakhs would ferry the students of villages Senge, Nyukmadung, Lish, Lish Gompache, Lubrang, Ramacamp, Lungrum, Sappercamp to various schools at Dirang at a very nominal fare.
The overall management and supervision of the bus has been entrusted to Dirang General Administration.
Lubrang ASM Leiki Wangda along with many panchayat leaders and students said that the bus service will go a long way in bringing in much respite to the economically downtrodden students pursuing higher education at Dirang..
