With that, overflow of public names came up to question two of Kalon Tripa nominees and took more time than scheduled for the event allowed.  If schedule wasn’t that much tight the debate would surely go on for whole day long. But since everything is limited and we couldn’t afford to dismiss the next Kalon Tripa debate that was due to hold at Delhi Day School tomorrow, lots of questions are still left unanswered due to lack of time to both questioner and nominees.

Through questioning session, many interesting and exciting things came up, relating to all sorts of things like; on responsibilities, education, social problems, and Tibetan cause and so on.

With that at 1 p.m the debate got concluded since NDPT is going to organize similar debate in Delhi and two of Kalon Tripa nominees’ are to get there on time. And Mr. Wanga la, an accountant a of NDPT has given a word of thanks to everyone present in the hall for a wonderful cooperation and to be here.
