2.0 Trade activities in Dongshengmang & Bleething
Trade intercourse in between the local people of both Bhutan and Tawang & West Kameng have been carried on in traditional way since time immemorial. However, in order to facilitate the traders of both side and to boost the Trade & Commerce activities, an agreement was signed in between the Royal Kingdom of Bhutan and the Government of Republic of India on 28th February, 1995 which identified 12 more trade route as Free Trade Routes. Most of our local people inhabiting in the border areas of Indo- China border generally prefer to go to Bhutan for shopping to meet their daily requirements instead of coming to Tawang due to distant factor. The Cultural, Social, racial and religions affinity of both the local people of Bhutan and Tawang and West Kameng (India) help social intercourse and intermingling which directly encourage for growth and development of Trade & Commerce activities in the region. During ‘TORGYA’ and ‘Gorsam’ festivals, thousands of Bhutanese pay visit to Tawang Monastery every year and similarly, thousands of our local people also pay visit to Bhutan during ‘CHURTEM KORA’ and ‘GOMBEY KORA’ as Buddhism is followed in both sides.
