PRAGATI 2026 Kicks Off: The Indian Army has started the two-week multilateral exercise PRAGATI 2026 at Umroi Military Station in Meghalaya, with 12 countries including Bhutan taking part, and the focus is counter-terror drills in semi-mountain and jungle terrain plus joint planning to boost coordination. Regional Connectivity Pressure: In West Bengal, the “Chicken’s Neck” Siliguri Corridor is back in the spotlight as the state clears land and highway handovers to central agencies, aiming to speed up stalled road and rail upgrades that are vital for trade and defence movement. Bhutan Policy Watch: Bhutan’s National Council session is set to push the proposed Livestock Bill to replace the 2001 law, as meat imports have surged to Nu 5.8 billion in 2024. Travel Rules Shift: Thailand is rolling back visa-free stays for most nationalities from 60 days to 30, with enforcement expected after an official announcement. Digital & Business Signals: BIT’s regulatory expansion includes BVI approvals for Matrixport’s investment and virtual asset services.
