AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Thimphu Local Governance: Thromde elections saw very low participation, with only 2,928 votes cast in Thimphu and 498 in Phuentsholing—about 32% of registered voters but just 2% of the cities’ total populations—highlighting how many residents can’t vote because their census is recorded elsewhere. Energy & Industry: Bhutan’s Kuri-Gongri hydropower project (2,800MW) has entered India’s review stage, while the Department of Industry says it inspected 154 industrial activities in 2025–26 to tighten environmental compliance. Infrastructure Accountability: Motithang residents report electrical damage and short circuits after contractor excavation during stormwater drainage works, with complaints reportedly unanswered for over a month. Jobs & Youth: A part-time employment system is starting to turn registrations into real work, with students gaining experience and pay through early placements. Regional Cooperation: BIMSTEC wrapped up an anti-money laundering and terror-financing capacity-building programme in Shillong and finalized a regional action plan to curb illicit financial flows. Culture & Learning: 84000 announced completion of its English translation of the longest Tibetan Buddhist sutra, The Perfection of Wisdom in One Hundred Thousand Lines.
