Not a flash- but a trash-flood!

On Thursday evening Thimphu residents went home safe in the belief that the flash flood coming down from the Tango Cheri area was nothing to worry about. But that night several families residing in Changzamtog area could not sleep at all. With heavy rain all night, drain water flooded several homes and kept the residents awake right through the night. Karma, a tenant of a traditional house, which belongs to Ap Gomchen, said that drain water, which flows above their house gushed inside through the kitchen window.
