The RGoB plans to ply helicopter services to connect all Dzongkhags to overcome the difficulty posed by road transportation. Is it feasible to have helicopter service? Justify your answer.
In favor of the content
1) Bhutan has scattered population and the terrain is very rough and undulating. Thus, helicopter services can connect the remotest place of the country.
2) Helicopter has the less carrying capacity, so it fits with the population of Bhutan.
3) It is very difficult for the government to construct and maintain the roads in every parts of the country because of mountainous nature and construction cost. Thus, in such situation helicopter service will be very handy.
In against of the content
1) Helicopter service is very expensive which is out of reach of the common people of the country.
2) The people of villages are self-satisfied and their movement from one place to another is very less.
3) Per capita income is very low, so people cannot afford this facility.
4) Construction of helipad and maintenance is very expensive.
What is density of roads? Mention the density of roads for Bhutan.
Density of roads is defined as the length of roads per 100 square km of surface area. It is calculated as:
Density of Roads = Total length of road × 100
Total Area
= 4392.5 × 100
38394
= 11. 4 km.
