AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Phuentsholing Immigration Upgrade: Bhutan is renovating immigration facilities at its busiest land entry point, with renovated ground-floor counters and plans for terminal expansion expected to speed up processing and ease congestion after May 24 overcrowding. Tourism Spending Slowdown: Parliament questioned the slow use of tourism funds under Bhutan’s 13th Five-Year Plan, with only about 17% utilised in two fiscal years, while MPs pointed to gaps like toilets and parking. Road Works for Gelephu Growth: Widening works are underway on the Tsirang–Sarpang route (Daraychu to Shaychamthang) to improve safety and reduce bottlenecks as Gelephu Mindfulness City is expected to bring more traffic. GCC Evacuation Readiness: Bhutan’s Foreign Ministry says the Bhutanese Embassy in Kuwait is the operational hub for possible GCC evacuation, with 7,786 nationals currently monitored under a contingency plan. Cultural Livelihoods in Samtse: The Pemaling Wool Heritage initiative is helping revive sheep-wool traditions by turning wool into marketable products like carpets and garments, aiming to keep the craft alive and create income. Health Staffing Pressure: MPs raised concerns over shortages of Health Assistants, especially female health workers, in remote gewogs, urging stronger staffing to meet rural healthcare pledges.
