AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

PRAGATI 2026 Kicks Off: A two-week multilateral military drill began at Umroi Military Station in Meghalaya, with Bhutan among 12 “friendly nations” joining India for counter-terror training in semi-mountain and jungle terrain, plus joint planning and tactical drills aimed at smoother coordination and intelligence-sharing. Border Modernisation: Bhutan’s government says it’s upgrading border systems too—automation is already running through the Automated Immigration Clearance System at Paro and Phuentsholing, and new Integrated Check Posts and a National Single Window are planned to cut congestion and tighten security. Budget Push: Bhutan’s National Assembly is debating a Nu 135.565B budget for 2026–27, led by capital spending for healthcare, education, agriculture, infrastructure, digital transformation, and climate resilience. Food Safety Law in Focus: The National Council session is set to discuss a new Livestock Bill to replace the 2001 law as meat imports surge and biosecurity concerns grow. Regional Watch: In India’s wider neighbourhood, West Bengal has moved to transfer key “Chicken’s Neck” land and highway sections to the Union for faster Northeast connectivity.
