The dzong developed wide cracks as a result of the 2009 Bhutan earthquake , whose epicenter was away from the dzong . A partnership between World Monuments Fund , Prince Claus Fund and the Bhutan Foundation was instrumental for assistance in emergency repairs at the dzong . In February 2014 , the Government of India allotted Nu .190 million for renovating the dzong . The renovation works are expected to be completed by June 2018 , while the costs have risen to Nu .227.5 million . A drasha ( monk hostel ) for 50 monks , besides a tshokhang ( dining area ) are built outside the dzong 's premises for safety and health reasons . The government is also recruiting local unemployed youth to construct the dzong , and will be using locally sourced materials in the construction , including timber mostly from Bumthang and stones from Chazam . The Trashigang district administrative offices have been temporarily relocated to the Trashigang Middle Secondary School while the clergy were moved to a school in Samkhar Gewog , about 10 km away from the dzong
