Is development of Dekiling township waste of resources?

Bumthang—Urban planning failures and poor political decisions often result in significant wastage of state resources. Why does this keep happening? In Dekiling, Bumthang, the evidence of neglect speaks for itself. Two decades after the township plan was initiated in 2003, the project remains stalled, leaving residents disheartened. While urban infrastructure funded by the Asian Development Bank was completed by 2008, progress came to a halt. Today, the area is plagued by potholed roads, broken streetlights, damaged sewage systems, clogged drains, and overgrown bushes.
