Local Fuel Access: STCBL has opened a new fuel retail outlet in Lhamoi Dzingkha (Dagana), adding storage for 80,000 litres and easing recurring shortages for 9,000+ residents. Border Travel Reality Check: A travel influencer couple shared a video comparing the India–Bhutan border experience, praising Bhutan’s cleanliness and lane discipline while criticizing chaos and litter on the Indian side. Mental Health Support: The PEMA helpline (1098) says it has handled 2,000+ calls since 2022, with mental health the top reason and fast response for severe cases. Bank Holiday Note for Travelers: Banks are closed in Sikkim on 18 July for Drukpa Tshe-zi, while most other places operate normally.
