Last update: 11 hours ago

Bhutan–India ties in focus: India’s Election Commission chief Gyanesh Kumar begins a three-day Bhutan visit, meeting the King and taking part in National Voters’ Day in Paro, underscoring closer election-management cooperation. Disaster preparedness: Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay says Bhutan is strengthening glacier and GLOF early warning as glacier retreat accelerates, with 17 potentially dangerous glacial lakes identified and systems already installed in three basins. Climate safety at home: Bhutan’s UNFPA and RENEW-backed rapid assessment highlights gaps in how online gender-based violence is reported and handled, calling for clearer responsibilities as deepfakes and AI abuse rise. Economy and infrastructure: The Gelephu–Tareythang road project moves ahead after a revised greenfield alignment cuts 1.5km, with construction targeted for June 2027. Health milestone: Thimphu’s dedicated Breast Clinic marks its first anniversary with 1,600+ visits and 45+ breast cancer surgeries, pushing for earlier detection. Finance watch: Bhutan National Bank reports profit down about 80% in the first half of 2026, hit by higher loan impairment charges. Regional sports: Bhutan will face Bangladesh in the second match of SAFF Championship’s opening day in Dhaka, with India starting against Pakistan.
