Haap Tshering Nob- from Talung.

~One of the earliest driver to drive a car in Bhutan.

During the time when our country was busy engaged in the construction of first national highway from Phuntsholing-Thimphu (1960s), most of our grandparents served in this project with sweat and tears. There were limited use of morden equipments that time. Agay Tshering Tenzi, from Sephu, Wangdue was mongst those who contributed selflessly in such nation building project.  He mostly works between Ganglakha-Jumja. 

Here, he confirms that the first driver to drive a motor car from the country was Haap Nobu who used to drive a Tata truck that time. Sadly he passed away last year.
