Thinley, who left Bhadrapur Airport of Jhapa with his wife Deki Penjore on Friday, was residing in Birtamod since a few years after leaving his temporary residence in Boudha, Kathmandu.

Resettlement of the Penjore family came just a month after the party’s former General Secretary and Spokesperson Narad Adhikari reached New Hampshire under the third country resettlement program.

Resettlement cases of both the leaders and their family members were kept highly confidential.

However, Chairperson of the Druk National Congress R.K. Dorji was learnt to have reached the IOM transit centre to bid farewell to Adhikari.

The Bhutan News Service was unable to reach Penjore at the transit camp in Kathmandu before the departure for his comment.
