CMC appeals fellow-Bhutanese to support fire victims

The Camp Management Committee (CMC) of Beldangi camps has appealed fellow-Bhutanese to extend financial assistance at will to support recently displaced fire victims of Beldangi-II.

In a letter addressed to Kathmandu-based Bhutan Media Society, Camp Secretary Dhan Bir Subba has asked the Society to set up a donation box to garner donations by involving resettled Bhutanese and their well wishers from various resettlement countries.

The Camp Secretary letter said, “The camp management committee would like to request the Bhutan Media Society to conduct a donation drive by involving the resettled fellow-Bhutanese to support the fire victims, similar to what the Society did for Goldhap and Sanischare fire victims in the past.”

Following consultations with some of the perennial donors and well-wishers, the Society decided to conduct an online donation drive through the official news portal of Bhutan News Service, stated a statement issued by the Society, Friday.

“The donation box will remain open until December 25. We request everyone to be a part of the drive for sympathizing the fire victims,” added the Society’s statement.

A massive fire on December 4 displaced above 400 individuals belonging to various 101 huts in Sector C3 and C4 of Beldangi-II.

Editor’s Note : Due to some problems with the PayPal accounts of the Bhutan Media Society, donations are being accepted on Punya Foundation’s accounts for the purpose. Inconveniences are highly regretted.
