Talking to The Sentinel, the General Secretary of BIFA, Dawa Penjor, said Wangda was in his private farm when a wild elephant attacked him last night. He said injured Wangda was immediately taken to CRRH, Gelephu, but later succumbed to his injuries at 2:28 am. Expressing deep sorrow over the tragic death, Penjor said Bhutan had lost a great intellect and humanist. He also said former Joint Home Secretary Dasho Tsering Wangda was a notable figure in Bhutan who served the country in various capacities, and he was a true friend of India who took a key role in strengthening the Bhutan-India relationship over the decades.

He was appointed as the Consul General of Bhutan in India (Kolkata) in 2008. He played a crucial role in promoting bilateral relations between Bhutan and India, particularly in the areas of trade, commerce, and tourism. Besides, he has also been involved in other ventures, including music, and has uploaded music tracks on SoundCloud, showcasing his creative side. He was always smiling with compassion.

Wangda recently invited a group of media persons of Kokrajhar and discussed promoting relationships among the border people of the two sides by holding sports, culture, and literary meets so that there would be people-to-people contact to strengthen the relationship between the two neighbours.
