The Phuentsholingโ€“Samtse Highway has been blocked again after a sudden rise in the water level brought down debris and covered the road.

Just yesterday, the Regional Chapter of the Bhutan Export Association in Phuentsholing, in collaboration with Phuentsholing Thromde, deployed additional machinery at Amochhu to clear the debris.

Many people remain stranded on both sides of the highway, while clearing operations have been suspended, with no immediate possibility of reopening the road.

Housing affordability remains a growing concern in Bhutanโ€™s urban centres, with many households spending a significant portion of their income on rent. During the National Councilโ€™s Question Hour session today, members sought updates on the implementation of the National Housing Policy 2020 and questioned the government on its plans to increase affordable housing across the country.

More than 70 of the 108 Jangchub Chortens planned for Gelephu Mindfulness City have already secured sponsorship. Sponsoring a single chorten costs USD 200,000, equivalent to about Nu 20 M. The sacred initiative continues to attract strong support from individuals, organisations, and institutions both within Bhutan and abroad.

The National Assembly members are calling for greater fiscal autonomy for local governments to respond faster to local needs. According to them, strengthening district-level financial committees is essential to improve efficiency and responsiveness in public service delivery. They also pointed out that the current framework governing budget management at the local level lacks clarity and limits effective decision-making.

Farmers of Dochhukha-Dzomlingthang-Ritsa Chiwog in Punakhaโ€™s Guma Gewog are enjoying their best chilli season in years, with timely rain delivering better yields and quality. Whatโ€™s equally encouraging has been the prices, which, the farmers say, are better than the last season.

With the Gelephu Mindfulness City expected to bring more traffic to southern Bhutan, widening works have begun along a key section of the Tsirangโ€“Sarpang Primary National Highway. The 33-kilometre stretch from Daraychu to Shaychamthang is being upgraded to improve safety and ease travel on a route long known for its narrow bends and bottlenecks.

During the redeliberation of the Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Tax Bill 2026 today, the National Assembly endorsed a recommendation from the National Council to create an inventory of goods that have already been imported and taxed under the existing law.

The recommendation is aimed at providing clarity on how such goods will be treated once the amended Act comes into effect. The finance minister said that the Ministry of Finance will consult the Department of Revenue and Customs to determine the mechanism for implementing the measure. The Bill will now be forwarded for Royal Assent.
