Ask them what is the idea behind the walls and I can assure you that they hadn't thought about it :)-<br /><br />This is the same issue I raised when the periphery walls at Lamperi Botanical Park came up.

While I am not completely against railings and fences which can help avoid misunderstandings and disagreements regarding land ownership even for public institutions, keep out stray animals which are common in Thimphu, I don't see the point of thick high walls, which are destroying the openness of Thimphu and making it a very constricted place. Parks and public buildings particularly should be visible.Karma Phuntshohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305280321093558841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30026077.post-81644685073494007862019-05-30T08:32:39.547+06:002019-05-30T08:32:39.547+06:00Good fences make good neighborsGood fences make good neighborsZorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126770181643237597noreply@blogger.com
