AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Cricket & Sportsmanship: Bhutan’s Ritshi Choden became the first woman batter to be “timed out” in international cricket during an ACC Women’s Premier Cup match against Nepal in Malaysia. Nepal’s Cricket Association later issued a public apology, saying the dismissal was within the laws but not in line with the “spirit of cricket.” Local Development & Climate Resilience: Thimphu is upgrading its storm drainage system to handle heavier rainfall and reduce urban flooding, with works planned from Sersang School through the city toward Kaja Throm under a government-UNDP project supported by the GEF. Disaster Response & Health Services: The Bhutan Red Cross Society opened its first Branch Emergency Operations Centre in Tsirang, strengthening local disaster preparedness and response. Environment & Conservation: Bhutan’s climate resilience work was praised at the GEF Council meeting in Samarkand, highlighting a USD 56 million project supporting forests, climate-resilient agriculture, and rural livelihoods. Governance: The National Council referred Bhutan’s Livestock Bill 2025 back to the Economic Affairs Committee for further review after concerns were raised by members. Sports (Regional): Bhutan also featured in regional match coverage, including Cambodia vs Bhutan fixtures and Bhutan’s participation in women’s cricket debates.
