[music] This is the English news segment of the BBS. I'm Pukam. Our main stories tonight, paliative care now [music] in 15 districts, nationwide coverage targeted by October.
And refund refusals and undelivered goods stop consumer [music] complaints as per competition and consumer affairs authorities latest report.
Nearly 80% of the districts in the country now offer paliotative care services bringing medical support and pain relief closer to patients with life-threatening illnesses. The health ministry is expanding the program to reach every district by October, allowing more patients to receive care and spend the final days with comfort and dignity at home.
Every morning except Sundays, an ambulance carrying the paliotative care team sets out to a patients home in Timu.
Their destination is not an emergency scene, but the homes of patients who are too ill to travel. The team provides homebased paliotative care, helping patients manage pain and improve their quality of life while also supporting their families. Today, the team visits a 19-year-old who was recently diagnosed with advanced osteocaroma, a rare bone cancer that usually affects adolescents.
She has been bedridden since February when her family finally learned the cause of her illness after months of searching for answers. Her mother and sister watch closely as the team demonstrates how to manage her pain and administer medication, allowing them to continue caring for her between visits.
>> Even washing her hands causes her pain.
The doctors and nurses visit us regularly and when her medicines run out or she becomes very sick, they come immediately. They have helped us in so many ways.
The family left their home in Tashiangi and now rents a house so their daughter can receive the care she needs.
Similarly, across town, another family is also relying on the service.
88-year-old man was recently diagnosed with head and neck cancer. Traveling to the hospital has become increasingly difficult, making home visits a lifeline for both him and his family.
This service is incredibly helpful for us. Many elderly patients have difficulty moving because they are weak and in pain. However, when the team comes to our house, it eases both the patients suffering and makes our work easier.
These families are among more than 1,100 patients receiving homebased paliotative care across the country. Paleative care focuses on relieving pain and managing the physical, psychological and spiritual challenges faced by people living with life-threatening illnesses and their families. In our unit in the home care we have almost 89% constituting of the cancer patients and we do have a small portion where heart like endstage heart patients endstage renal patients and also endstage respiratory and also some neurological um patients like very advanced Parkinson's or advanced dementia.
According to the national referral hospital patients are referred through an established nationwide system. The country currently has only one working paliative care physician.
>> We have a well structured referral pathways now that we have incorporated in our unit. We receive uh most of our patients from the enko surgeons that is head and neck enko surgeon the gyneko surgeon and the GI enco surgeon and we also receive many patients directly from India who were actually referred for you know further treatment there and then they are no longer receiving uh treatment so they referred back once the patient get registered with uh palative care we do home care home visit uh our home visits from Monday to Saturday so we do home visit from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. where we look after symptom management at home. So patient who cannot come to the hospital will go we go there and manage them at home to expand access beyond the capital. The health ministry has trained multidisciplinary teams including public health officials, doctors, clinical or staff, nurses, health assistants, pharmacists, physiootherapist and traditional medicine staff. Paleative care services are now available in 15 of the country's 20 districts and the ministry aims to achieve nationwide coverage by the end of October. However, the shortage of trained doctors and nurses along with funding constraints continues to pose challenges to expanding the service. Since the program began, over 900 patients receiving paliotative care have died, most of them peacefully in their own homes surrounded by their loved ones.
As the service continues to expand, it is a step towards ensuring what the World Health Organization recognizes as a fundamental human right, access to paleative care for all.

>> Leadership comes with responsibility, but many student leaders take on the role with little formal preparation. To change that, Sherupsy College is now home to the university students leadership development center, the first dedicated center to train student leaders from colleges under the Royal University of Bhutan.
>> The week-long inaugural program brought together 95 student leaders from across the country. Over the past week, they took part in sessions on leadership, communication, decision-making, time management, meditation, and tigum nam skills aimed at helping them lead with confidence while balancing academic and leadership responsibilities.
Participants say the training gave them practical tools to manage challenges they encounter as student leaders and prepared them to better support their peers.
When I was in college, I found it difficult to balance my studies with my responsibilities as a student leader.
After attending this program, I learned how to manage my time and cope with work rellated stress. These skills will not only help me lead and support my fellow students, but they will also benefit me throughout my life.
A few months ago, I went to schools for our teaching practice where we faced many challenges. Through this program, I learned the importance of self motivation and how as a leader, we should not only motivate ourselves but also inspire our entire team. For example, when we work with slow learning students, instead of giving up on them, now I learned how to encourage and motivate them to do better.
Along with the cent's inauguration, a leadership training course booklet was also launched.
The center builds on Sharpsy College student leader program which has been running for more than a decade.
Officials say it will serve as a permanent platform to nurture responsible and capable student leaders beyond campus for Sonar Toshika. Tashid Decker, PBS News.
Honey harvesting is becoming easier for a group of beekeepers in Puma thanks to FLHive technology introduced to them a year ago. It allows beekeepers to draw honey straight from the hive through a tab, speeding up the process while making it more hygienic and less stressful for both beekeepers and bees.
>> The honey harvesting season has just begun in Bumang, the heart of Bhutan's beekeeping, where more than half of the country's honey is produced each year.
For years, beekeepers here removed heavy frames from their hives and carried them to extraction units before harvesting could begin. The process was labor intensive, time consuming, and often disturbed the bee colonies.
Now, for a handful of groups, this is beginning to change.
A pilot project has introduced Flowhive technology, a honey harvesting system in which honey flows directly from specially designed frames through a tab.
Beekeepers simply turn a key to open channels inside the frames, allowing ripe honey to run into a container without dismantling the hive. Invented in Australia and popularly known as honey on tap, the design keeps the bees largely undisturbed during harvesting.
This reduces stress on the colony, lowers the risk of damaging comb and lets beekeepers harvest closer to home.
>> We are very happy with this technology.
We can extract honey whenever we want earlier. Since we did not have a vehicle, we had to hire one and pay for transport. With this new hive technology, we believe our income will increase in the future.
When we used it for the first time, it worked well and we were happy. Those interested in beekeeping can keep a few hives near their homes or guest houses and serve fresh honey to their guests.
Since it is a modern technology, it is convenient to use. With conventional hives, we had to take the honeycombs to the extension center for extraction.
Now, we do not have to take them anywhere. We can extract honey near our homes in more hygienic conditions.
>> The technology was introduced to two beekeeper groups through the GEF small grants program implemented by UNDP Bhutan in partnership with the government.
Under this support, the members of beekeeper cooperative for Bumang and Chum Sjamey Desan received two flowhive boxes each. Similarly, another group, Women's Beekeeping Group in Chum received one FLHive box per member with support from the Bhutan Foundation. A FLHive box costs around 48,000 gum.
As demand for highquality honey continues to grow, modern technologies such as the flowhive are expected to make beekeeping more efficient, sustainable, and appealing for both existing and aspiring beekeepers.
Bumang has been at the forefront of modern beekeeping in Bhutan since mid 1980s with an estimated 100 beekeepers across public and private sectors. Today for Tilidoji in Bumang, this is Soni for BBS News.
Paying for something and getting nothing in return or being refused your money back when a purchase goes wrong. These were the two most common grievances Bhutini's consumers reported last fiscal year. As per the competition and consumer affairs authorities latest grievance redressle and market surveillance report these two together accounted for more than half of all complaints received.
Every purchase comes with an expectation, a product delivered on time, a service that meets standards, and a seller who stands behind what is promised. But for hundreds of consumers last fiscal year, those expectations were not met. Of the 338 complaints the CCE received last fiscal year, 114 were refund refusal and 65 were failure to deliver goods. The authority received the grievances through its complaint management system, walk-ins, toll-free services, and email. Beyond refunds and non-dely, consumers also reported defective products, pricing disputes, misleading claims, and warranty non-compliance.
As per the report, except for FO, all other cases were resolved. The unresolved cases are under investigation due to incomplete information or nonresponse from the parties involved.
For those who spoke up, complaints led to action. Through intervention and mediation, the authority facilitated refunds amounting to 2.78 million each compared to the 2024 to 2025 fiscal year. This is a reduction by almost 50%.
Meanwhile, non-compliant business paid penalties amounting to a little over 70,000.
The figure smaller than the refunds indicate that the authorities approach still leans towards mediation and restitution rather than punishment. Two complex cases went a step further. The CCA referred them to the dispute settlement committee and independent body established under the Consumer Protection Act 2012. Both involved or authorized vehicle dealers in the country. In one case, buyers of a particular vehicle model reported a recurring defect in the exterior finish which the committee recognized as a manufacturing defect. The dealer was directed to carry out one-time repairs on all affected vehicles for free. In the other, a faulty component in a vehicle led the committee to direct the dealer to replace the part, cover servicing costs, and honor the extended warranty. The authority says the findings show a continued need to strengthen consumer awareness and business compliance.
Looking ahead, it plans to expand enforcement, strengthen coordination with other agencies and increase the use of technology- based monitoring systems as Patan moves forward and expanded consumer protection and competition framework. Tashid Decker, BBS News.
In sports, the first ever Queen's Cup Basketball Championship has created a new space for women basketball enthusiasts in the country. The tournament concluded yesterday with team Majes making history as the inaugural champions after defeating team Griffins in the final. More than just a competition, organizers say the tournament is a step towards encouraging more women to take up the sport.
The Tempu Basketball Center came alive as team Majas and team Griffins faced off in the final. After a closely contested start, Majas pulled ahead in the second half to secure a 5434 win and become the first ever Queen's Cup champions.
>> It's an honor to be able to play the Queen's Cup champion uh the championship, Queens Cup championship, and it's um we feel so grateful to be the first Queen's Cup champion, sir. And it was a wonderful opportunity to for opportunity for all of us to be able to participate in the tournaments club.
>> Although they missed the title, team Griffins said reaching the final itself was an achievement and a valuable learning experience.
>> We are very happy to have reached the finals. Although we could not win this time, we worked very hard as a team and gave our best throughout the tournament.
We will take this experience as motivation and come back stronger and we'll continue working hard to win in the next tournament.
Organized by the Bhutan Basketball Federation with support from Vatra Construction Private Limited and the International Basketball Federation Foundation's Basketball for Good project. The Queen's Cup is the country's first basketball tournament dedicated entirely to women. However, organizers say attracting more female participants remains a challenge. Only five teams took part in the twoe inaugural edition.
>> There is still very low participation of girls in basketball. So, I would like to encourage more girls and young people to come forward and take part. You may feel nervous when you start, but with time and experience, you will become more confident and improve your skills.
I would encourage all young girls to continue playing and to participate in tournaments as much as they can and play whenever they can to grow and learn from the experiences cuz you learn a lot from tournaments.
>> Team Majas received a cash prize of 60,000 yum as champions while team Griffins received 40,000 as runners up.
For players and organizers, the Queen's Cup marks the beginning of a new chapter, one that they hope will inspire more girls to step onto the court. This is Kinita for BBS News.
For the past one month, football has kept millions of fans on the edge of the seats and Bhutini supporters have been part of the thrill. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 final set to kick off a couple of hours from now at Metife Stadium in the US, anticipation is at its peak.
Here in Bhutan, half a world away, fans have planned watch parties as they prepare to find out who will lift the trophy, Argentina or Spain. Our reporter Dika Pradan takes us through the excitement sweeping Bhutan ahead of the game which promises to be a spectacular clash of the titans.
Yeah, >> the kickoff is at 1:00 a.m. Bhutan standard time. It's late into the night.
The weather in Tempu, a light drizzle almost throughout the day, but these have done little to dampen the spirit of football fans. Preparations are well underway at the Chanita Stadium. Giant screens are ready and so is the excitement. The public screening funded by Coca-Cola Abatan is free for everyone, bringing football lovers together for one unforgettable night.
The excitement does not stop at the national stadium. Pups across the capital are also hosting watch parties, turning the World Cup final into a celebration of football and friendship.
>> Fun about a world cup is it comes once in every four years and sometimes when you have watch parties like that we meet friends which we haven't met in so long.
So sometimes like I meet friends from high school, sometimes the friends from college, sometimes my old work friends all come together and so that's what I think of football. It brings a lot of people together. I think the unity is there.
>> At the basement, a sports bar in Timu, preparations are equally in full swing.
Having hosted successful screenings during the last World Cup, the owner expects another packed crowd tonight.
2022 World final semiinal semiinal final part.
The same excitement is unfolding beyond the capital in Gilbushing Monger. The much anticipated final will be screened at a private hotel organized by a passionate football fan. The floors have been mobbed. Seats arranged, monitors checked, and rooms prepared. At least 60 fans have already confirmed their participation, making it one of the biggest private gatherings organized in the area to witness the historic clash.
for hotel.
Whether at the stadium, in hotels, pubs or community halls, one thing is certain. Tonight, thousands of Bhutanese football fans thousands of kilometers away from Midlife Stadium will stay awake long after midnight, feeling none of that distance or time for one final showdown. For 90 minutes, Bhutan will sit in the same room as the world. That perhaps is a quiet promise of the beautiful game. No nation is too far and no fan too small to belong to it. Dika Pradan, BBS News.

[music] Hello and kuza.
My name is Sing Yangzong. I am deaf and I work at Wangil Institute for the Deaf.
Communication is a fundamental human right. However, millions of deaf and heart of hearing individuals around the world face daily challenges in expressing themselves and understanding others due to language barriers. While sign language plays a vital role in bridging this gap, there remains a significant lack of accessible resources and tools for both deaf individuals [music] and hearing people to effectively learn and use sign language.
Bhutan is no exception. Many deaf and heart of hearing individuals still face difficulties in accessing [music] information and only a small number of hearing people are able to communicate using sign language.
To help address this communication gap, we are proud to introduce the Bhutanese Sign Language app, also known as BHSL app.
A mobile application designed to make Putin sign language learning and communication accessible to everyone.
[music] The app was first developed [music] in 2023 with funding support from the Bhutan Foundation.
This year, the app has been upgraded with new and enhanced features with continued support from the Bhutan Foundation.
Key features of the BHSL app include number one, daily vocabulary learning with categorized words and quizzes to test comprehension.
Number two, sentences and phrases to support basic communication skills.
number three, a discourse section featuring stories to deepen understanding of Putin sign language.
And lastly, informative signing videos that share facts [music] about sign language and deaf people.
Whether you are deaf, hard of hearing, a teacher, a parent, or simply someone interested [music] in learning Bhutanese sign language, the BHSL app is here to promote inclusive communication.
Download the BHSL app today and begin your journey in learning Bhutanese sign language.
We believe [music] that communication should never be a barrier. Through the BHSL app, we are not only teaching science. [music] We are fostering understanding, empathy, and connection.
Thank you.
Kangpo and welcome to current affairs.

Uh I I'm a work in progress for about one and a half year uh till the D-Day. So of course in the beginning uh we could not really I could not really come forward because my nominations were not confirmed. So after the nominations about a period of 1 month that's what I got to campaign around and it was mostly because also we didn't have a doortodoor uh campaigning period so it was based on um how many people you know your friends and family I suppose and then through telephone I've been able to I managed to somehow to get some contact numbers through friends and family so that's how I got in touch with people so it's been an overwhelming experience um but a very fruitful one I think and uh to step up uh to contest in such a uh such a such a public arena has been very overwhelming and uh very exciting too and to be honest very exciting >> right >> right now you received quite a strong support uh from voters how do you interpret the confidence that people placed in you >> um I think I have to thank the media also and uh especially BBS and also the Quincil and Bhutanese Bhutan today all the media played a very important role especially in the social media cuz I think that was also how people uh came to know about uh my participation and uh I heard from a lot of people that they had uh uh they watched the live debates and also the program which was aired uh later and then that's how they were like uh able to uh come forth to vote also and the most amazing thing was the youth of our city tempu they came it was an overwhelming response I think you know this is a a good lesson for all of us who are interested [clears throat] to come forward excuse me to to represent our people also the government officials I think it's a very important uh I I thought like uh just the fact that people our youth are listening Our youth are listening, our youth are watching what is happening. So their participation has been overwhelming. Of course the supporters I'm very grateful for all the supporters. Um and just the fact that they came to vote was an overwhelming experience cuz we none I have never had such kind of an opportunity before. So given that we have this uh without differentiation between men and women and uh so yeah I think like the support has been amazing.
I didn't expect also but I thought like I give a pat on my back to myself also and you did it you know uh so I think u yeah >> right now you started your career as a journalist right and you were you know working for different agencies throughout your you know years previous years. So now this is going to be your first time participating in such election right. So what was a biggest lesson that you had um learned from this election campaign or you know public debate uh or or any sort of procedure that came in during this election. Um I think the most uh humbling experience is that we have to trust our people and of course we see in social medias people saying a lot of things commenting about how it's not necessary and all and uh it seems to some extent that uh they send out a message saying people really don't care but uh just the sheer number of fact that people have come forward to just participate and vote says volumes.
I know that the comparison uh 5 years ago and now is dropped but still nonetheless think of people care. I think that's very humbling experiences and like people coming from all walks of life especially the youth like I mentioned and also uh our aging population who had come forward be it civil also civil servants and also the housewives and also I I was just overwhelmed with the youth participation so I think uh to some extent it's been humbling and I'm just glad that our youth are not left behind and they are watching Now what is your overall election uh process uh you know experience of overall election process uh you know from nomination to polling day was it do you think it it was fair and transparent from your experience? Um I think if we be honest uh when it comes to zumdu which is uh the election has they say zdu and all we hardly see any turn around about people coming in. I think it has been mentioned in the media also and I had experienced myself out of the seven I think about three did not nobody was there to come and listen to what I had to say or what otherinduji had to say you know so it was uh everybody left it to the election voting day only so zdu doesn't seem to be that effective uh there were I I don't mean no disrespect to people who had come in but uh given the fact that uh only even the number of people which has turned out was the maximum of about 20 people. So I think the zundu is not very effective I thought and also the nomination filing which is called I think saku zundu actually but it has been kept as zdu so people think it's just a meeting and all not really trying to exercise their vote to actually you know say if there's only one candidate for example I was the only candidate from Changanganka so just for the fact that people had to come in to say do you want me to represent Changanga for Timu. So the number was only seven who came forward. So which was like it threw me back a bit and uh yeah that that was quite challenging and quite out of the body experience to be honest. I was like okay now what? So yeah that was there and uh in terms of other process I think the election commission was doing a commendable job.
All the election officers were there throughout the weekends also working you know and every question that we had any doubt we had they were in the position to clarify cuz like as a new contestant or a new candidate it is very difficult sometimes what are the dos and what are the don'ts so sometimes I felt at some point you know like oh there are too many don'ts than dos so how do I do so I had to like every day you know I had to go back home and then like you know um be mindful and track back my day as to how it went by. What are the things that that I could do? What are the things I could not do and all simple as that? Uh since I'm a work since I'm I was a work in progress for one and a half year. I'm never a Tik Tok person actually. But I managed to form a small youth voluntary team and then uh set up a Tik Tok where I uh start with jokes and every day what happened in among friends and all those things. So which garnered a lot of viewership. So that was my strategy to use if I were allowed to campaign in future you know like because I was preparing for this. So I had uh my I had my Tik Tok platform unfortunately I was not able to use it during the campaigning. So just now I feel like should have I done more could I have done more also uh on the other hand I feel like I've given my best and so has all our people in Timu so I was our people in Timu they have uh they have gone through all the debates they've gone through the program they've read in the papers and all so they made a sound decision I think and we have to respect that people have chosen so I have no hangup about that And uh I think when you know how to bow down, you have to bow down gracefully because we have to respect people's decision. After all, it's a democracy.
So that way, yeah, for me um I do get a lot of family members and friends and also the supporters calling me and saying are you all right? Of course, I'm okay. I'm good. In fact, you know, I feel like uh I have come forward. uh I think the mileage is like in terms of even to encourage one another youth in future if they think like oh if she could do maybe I'm in the position to do if that is set I feel like uh I've achieved one of my goals especially women I would like to tell our women folks our girls ma and ladies please do not shy away because I you think I lost it but I think I'm a winner and all of us should uh be motivated to come forward because people really do give uh they do care. So that way you know me newcomer uh new in town so still I managed to >> do my best and people supported a lot too. So that way I think the women have future not only women your young boys and girls should really step up and prepare in advance. I was thinking it's been a wonderful journey and I wanted to share that. Wonderful. Wonderful. Now you know beyond the uh you know u challenge that you just spoke about you know apart from that as a first timer what are some of the other challenges that you thought you faced as a first-time in this whole election process was it just that or >> I think challenges is there every day in our lives everyone's life uh everybody with a responsibility once you life must go on. So all of us have some challenges or not every day that we face. So it was not extraordinary challenge to be honest. It was like like every day every day. Uh I think people should not shy away thinking it must be like oh my god really challenging. It's not a rocket science. It's basically we just have to be dedicated and then be strong to serve the needs of the people and be in the position to help other people. I think if you are mindful and go with your right attitude uh I think it's not very challenging saying that despite saying that yes we do face and then as a first timer for me was uh trying to find out who all are from Timu >> it's very difficult I think I requested a lot of agencies maybe I not name named the agencies but I did go around uh requesting some agencies if I could get uh voters list of tempu people so that I can approach them through telephone also you know though campaigning was not allowed and I thought like maybe so that was the greatest challenge not being able to identify who is actually from Timuru and who is not of course I know the friends >> nobody comes for Zundu >> yeah nobody comes for Zundu and people who were in Zundu I try to get in touch with uh and then ask for their numbers and then ask them if they could give me numbers of the people who are from here I do have a fair idea who all are from uh from tempu because I'm also a very social person. I'm a very outgoing person. So I talk to people from all walks of life. So that has been a bone in a way. So that was a blessing in disguise me being a social person. So that gave me a leverage at some point to find out who all but to really get to know 10,000 voters in Timu without a voters list I think it is very challenging. That was the biggest obstacle for me I think. Yeah.
>> Okay. So, uh earlier you mentioned about how you have um Tik Tok account and also people not turning up for Tim I mean you know dodu. So now is there anything about the election process or campaign environment that you feel need you know could be improved for future candidates like yourself or if you are contesting again after 5 years what should be there you know because you also mentioned about how there are more don'ts than dos so so if there's anything that you think should be improved >> uh I think I would not be uh in the right position but given my situ situation that I went through and all more or less like a uh maybe my opinion or was thinking like to have more contestant uh or candidates in future.
If there is a way to have uh participation uh a little bit of loosening like people who are also in the jobs if they want to come forward if they could be encouraged in the campaigning period for example if there were only about 3 months to campaign which is like 90 days so if the people who are already working are given a chance be a woman as well as a men and if things doesn't work out maybe they can go back to their job I thought I don't know maybe it's just my personal opinion so that we can have more candidates more participations you know and in terms of people who are voting voters of our uh our city or any other uh place like counseling and all I think voter education has been there but I think it can be vibrant uh in the sense like maybe not necessarily a zomu per se like I mentioned in my debates also but make it like uh maybe do a bit of research as to find out what are the interests of all the seven constituencies each has our own culture duala so if we could tap on that one and find out what interests for example if it's the changanga group of them what interests them the most maybe a bit of a research and then and then like whatever we plan in terms of rather than zumdu maybe like making make it exciting >> for people to come forward to build up a community community vital ility more.
Maybe if we have a strong one and make it fun experience for people because all said and done, we are all social animals. We're looking for anything that is interesting and fun and then whatever we need to deliver or educate them or maybe create awareness. But uh seeing that also I I I think this experience has also taught that people are in a way also everybody is aware of the election process but there are still some who still depend on oh I don't know the candidate who should I vote for oh I'll go down there and vote whoever I feel like voting. So that means maybe they don't know the candidates properly. So there should be a more exposure or time given to the candidates to meet the people in the city. That's what I thought. Now >> yes. Now um this next question could be a reference to the current administration also. So you know because during your campaign you must have interacted with a lot of people here in Timu voters residents. So what were the biggest concerns that people shared with you and that could you know the the current administration could probably work on?
>> I think a lot of uh people who that who I talked to supporters or as well people in city was like uh maybe there is not a walking management. You know how people we are emotional people and then if you just go to their places and consult with them of course again there is a zumdu they say like and people normally don't turn up for that but maybe go to each them and find out and talk to them and listen to them and bring the bring the changes uh after consulting all of them people all of the people I think would be one of my um humble requests to the current administration. It's not that it has not been done but yes and also without any judgment or without any partiality to maybe be it in a higher position or in the lower position ma our people are in tempu are our people so serve with equality and also remember that everybody is watching you know with conscious and mindfulness I'm sure has done that in the past also given the magnitude of the job it is difficult.
What is your best may not be perceived as best by many people but uh just to have that human to human touch more or to go to the demos and maybe mingle with the people and listen to them I think would be great I suppose and I wish uh also the best. people have chosen and I respect that uh uh respect that fully and support it and I think um as a fellow uh candidates I would request uh that maybe these are little small approaches I think there's a difference between men and women we women tend to get a little emotional like you know and then so we always listen we are okay a better listener I suppose in a way so that way I think and then we don't have to look far look at our things how they go and meet people. So that is a very big lesson for all of us which humbles us as individuals living in a city. So I think uh that would be great I suppose.
>> So now since we're talking about women and being emotional do you think you being a woman has something to do with the result the perception of people during this election?
>> I think yes and no at the same time. Um we still do have uh being a Asian country we still have our uh roots where men are looked at up as a superior but at the same time no because this is a gift from our golden throne and that itself says volume that women and men are given equal opportunities and any of us can come forward. This is where I derive my strength from that I came forward and all because despite being a woman all of us if you look in the government offices all the important positions are held by women right now starting from our election commissioner and also secretaries if you look at chiefs you know and most many of my friends in director positions also so that way I think uh we can do it and then it's there has never been uh it's never been like a rocket science for anybody. Once any of us are given responsibilities, we will carry forth.
For me, if I had won this election, it would I would have gone with the full consciousness. I was uh because it's I was I would be have been the first elected woman and I would have more responsibilities in terms of carrying all our women on my shoulder and thinking if I fail then the opportunity may not be as uh as uh as just now how it's portrayed and people may not give opportunity to other girls. So I would have worked every single day of my five years term if I were elected with that thought and consciousness and mindfulness because if I failed I had no room to fail.
>> I would have failed our woman folk for the first elected woman.
>> So that's that's my opinion. So after this experience now do we hope to see you contesting for another election in future tomb day election or other parliamentary election?
We never know sky is the limit. So I was telling uh everybody and all those things we should we should not back down. A lot of people I think it's such it has such a magnitude if you're not very strong. Some people tend to have um I think depressions and all that's what I heard also but uh I've not felt anything like that. I thought wow this is my first stepping stone and sky is the limit. You never know. So I'm positive and uh I will look forward to anything that is there in future. I think we have to keep uh life must go on and then I'll continue on my journey.
>> Now final question uh what is your hope for tempuru and its resident for the next 5 years under this administration.
>> Um I think the continuity of work which has already been there from the five-year plan Müller that would be important. uh also I think uh the current administration has to really go and meet the people like I uh mentioned earlier and then after discussing with them because we do have some situations where people are prioritizing drainage over blacktop road. So uh some of the supporters that I talked to said like they have drainage pro problem without the drainage being fixed the black top is continuing and that is not fair on us because I know we know that eventually during the um monsoon season it will run off the roads will not um will not be strong enough because we don't have proper drainage. So that way I think it is very important you go and uh listen to people and uh prioritize what they need in their own constituency. After all it's the people who are living in tempo and definitely I hope uh pedestrian cuz I walk a lot too. I like walking. Pedestrian is one problem that we need to we are not looking only at myself. We're looking at physically challenged. We're looking at our aging population and all of us are aging. uh and that's a factor. So we need a proper pedestrian and of course the water issue which I had uh prioritized again and again. Let's get one of the reports out and find out the status report of Timo.
>> Yes sir.
>> Think we are running out of time we ran out of time. So thank you so much for sharing your experience. It was a beautiful conversation and I say that a democratic journey is not measured by victory but also by the courage to step forward and represent people and I think you are a very good example and you did that very beautifully. So thank you for joining us and congratulations for that.
>> Thank you so much Sen. Thank you.

Hello and kuza.
My name is Sing Yangzong. I am deaf and I work at Wangil Institute for the Deaf.
Communication is a fundamental human right. However, millions of deaf and heart of hearing individuals around the world face daily challenges in expressing themselves and understanding others due to language barriers. While sign language plays a vital role in bridging this gap, there remains a significant lack of accessible resources and tools for both deaf individuals and hearing people to effectively learn and use sign language. Bhutan is no exception. Many deaf and heart of hearing individuals still face difficulties in accessing [music] information and only a small number of hearing people are able to communicate using sign language.
To help address this communication gap, we are proud to introduce the Bhutanese Sign Language app, also known as BHSL app.
A mobile application designed to make Putin sign language learning and communication accessible to everyone.
The app was first developed in 2023 with funding support from the Bhutan Foundation.
This year, the app has been upgraded with new and enhanced features with continued support from the Bhutan Foundation.
Key features of the BHSL app include number one, daily vocabulary learning with categorized words and quizzes to test [music] comprehension.
Number two, sentences and phrases to support basic communication skills.
Number three, a discourse section featuring stories to deepen understanding of Putin sign language.

Paliative care now [music] in 15 districts. Nationwide coverage targeted by October.
And refund refusals and undelivered goods stop consumer complaints as per competition and consumer affairs authorities latest report.
Nearly 80% of the districts in the country now offer paliotative care services, bringing medical support and pain relief closer to patients with life-threatening illnesses. The health ministry is expanding the program to reach every district by October, allowing more patients to receive care and spend their final days with comfort and dignity at home.
Every morning except Sundays, an ambulance carrying the paliotative care team sets out to a patient's home in Timu.
Their destination is not an emergency scene, but the homes of patients who are too ill to travel. The team provides home-based paliotative care, helping patients manage pain and improve their quality of life while also supporting their families.
Today, the team visits a 19-year-old who was recently diagnosed with advanced osteocaroma, a rare bone cancer that usually affects adolescence.
She has been bedridden since February when her family finally learned the cause of her illness. After months of searching for answers, her mother and sister watch closely as the team demonstrates how to manage her pain and administer medication, allowing them to continue caring for her between visits.
Even washing her hands causes her pain.
The doctors and nurses visit us regularly and when her medicines run out or she becomes very sick, they come immediately. They have helped us in so many ways.
The family left their home in Tashiangi and now rents a house so their daughter can receive the care she needs.
Similarly, across town, another family is also relying on the service.
88-year-old man was recently diagnosed with head and neck cancer. Traveling to the hospital has become increasingly difficult. making home visits a lifeline for both him and his family.
>> This service is incredibly helpful for us. Many elderly patients have difficulty moving because they are weak and in pain. However, when the team comes to our house, it eases both the patients suffering and makes our work easier.
These families are among more than 1,100 patients receiving homebased paliative care across the country. Paliative care focuses on relieving pain and managing the physical, psychological and spiritual challenges faced by people living with life-threatening illnesses and their families. In our unit in the home care we have almost 89% constituting of the cancer patients and we do have a small portion where heart like endstage heart patients endstage renal patients and also endstage respiratory and also some neurological um patients like very advanced Parkinson's or advanced dementia.
According to the national referral hospital patients are referred through an established nationwide system. The country currently has only one working paleative care physician.
>> We have a well structured referral pathways now that we have incorporated in our unit. We receive uh most of our patients from the enko surgeons that is head and neck enco surgeon the gyne surgeon and the GI enco surgeon and we also receive many patients directly from India who were actually referred for you know further treatment there and then they are no longer receiving uh treatment so they referred back once the patient get registered with uh palative care we do home care home visit uh our home visits from Monday to Saturday so we do home visit from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. where we look after symptom management at home. So patient who cannot come to the hospital will go we go there and manage them at home to expand access beyond the capital. The health ministry has trained multidisciplinary teams including public health officials, doctors, clinical or staff, nurses, health assistants, pharmacists, physiootherapists and traditional medicine staff. Paleative care services are now available in 15 of the country's 20 districts and the ministry aims to achieve nationwide coverage by the end of October. However, the shortage of trained doctors and nurses along with funding constraints continues to pose challenges to expanding the service. Since the program began, over 900 patients receiving paliotative care have died, most of them peacefully in their own homes surrounded by their loved ones.
As the service continues to expand, it is a step towards ensuring what the World Health Organization recognizes as a fundamental human right, access to paleative care for all. Sing Dema, PBS News.
>> Leadership comes with responsibility, but many student leaders take on the role with little formal preparation. To change that, Sherupsy College is now home to the university students leadership development center, the first dedicated center to train student leaders from colleges under the Royal University of Bhutan.
>> The week-long inaugural program brought together 95 student leaders from across the country. Over the past week, they took part in sessions on leadership, communication, decision-making, time management, meditation, and tigum nam skills aimed at helping them lead with confidence while balancing academic and leadership responsibilities.
Participants say the training gave them practical tools to manage challenges they encounter as student leaders and prepared them to better support their peers.
When I was in college, I found it difficult to balance my studies with my responsibilities as a student leader.
After attending this program, I learned how to manage my time and cope with work rellated stress. These skills will not only help me lead and support my fellow students, but they will also benefit me throughout my life.
A few months ago, I went to schools for our teaching practice where we faced many challenges. Through this program, I learned the importance of self motivation and how as a leader, we should not only motivate ourselves but also inspire our entire team. For example, when we work with slow learning students, instead of giving up on them, now I learned how to encourage and motivate them to do better.
Along with the cent's inauguration, a leadership training course booklet was also launched.
The center builds on Sharpsy College student leader program which has been running for more than a decade.
Officials say it will serve as a permanent platform to nurture responsible and capable student leaders beyond campus. For sonar giidar news, honey harvesting is becoming easier for a group of beekeepers in Buma thanks to flowhive technology introduced to them a year ago. It allows beekeepers to draw honey straight from the hive through a tab, speeding up the process while making it more hygienic and less stressful for both beekeepers and bees.
>> The honey harvesting season has just begun in Bumang, the heart of Bhutan's beekeeping, where more than half of the country's honey is produced each year.
For years, beekeepers here removed heavy frames from their hives and carried them to extraction units before harvesting could begin. The process was labor intensive, time consuming, and often disturbed the bee colonies.
Now, for a handful of groups, this is beginning to change.
A pilot project has introduced FLHive technology, a honey harvesting system in which honey flows directly from specially designed frames through a tap.
Beekeepers simply turn a key to open channels inside the frames, allowing ripe honey to run into a container without dismantling the hive. Invented in Australia and popularly known as honey on tap, the design keeps the bees largely undisturbed during harvesting.
This reduces stress on the colony, lowers the risk of damaging comb and lets beekeepers harvest closer to home.
>> We are very happy with this technology.
We can extract honey whenever we want earlier. Since we did not have a vehicle, we had to hire one and pay for transport. With this new hive technology, we believe our income will increase in the future.
When we used it for the first time, it worked well and we were happy. Those interested in beekeeping can keep a few hives near their homes or guest houses and serve fresh honey to their guests.
>> Since it is a modern technology, it is convenient to use. With conventional hives, we had to take the honeycombs to the extension center for extraction.
Now, we do not have to take them anywhere. We can extract honey near our homes in more hygienic conditions.
The technology was introduced to two beekeeper groups through the GEF small grants program implemented by UNDP Bhutan in partnership with the government.
Under this support, the members of beekeeper cooperative for Bumang and Chum Sjamyaga Desen received two floor hype boxes each. Similarly, another group woman's beekeeping group in Chum received one FLHive box per member with support from the Bhutan Foundation. A FLHive box costs around 48,000 gum.
As demand for highquality honey continues to grow, modern technologies such as the FLHive are expected to make beekeeping more efficient, sustainable, and appealing for both existing and aspiring beekeepers.
Bumang has been at the forefront of modern beekeeping in Bhutan since mid 1980s with an estimated 100 beekeepers across public and private sectors. Today for Till Doji in Bumang, this is Sona Bongi for BBS News.
paying for something and getting nothing in return or being refused your money back when a purchase goes wrong. These were the two most common grievances Bhutini's consumers reported last fiscal year. As per the competition and consumer affairs authorities latest grievance redressle and market surveillance report these two together accounted for more than half of all complaints received.
Every purchase comes with an expectation, a product delivered on time, a service that meets standards, and a seller who stands behind what is promised. But for hundreds of consumers last fiscal year, those expectations were not met. Of the 338 complaints the CCE received last fiscal year, 114 were refund refusal and 65 were failure to deliver goods. The authority received the grievances through its complaint management system, walk-ins, toll-free services, and email. Beyond refunds and non-dely, consumers also reported defective products, pricing disputes, misleading claims, and warranty non-compliance.
As per the report, except for FO, all other cases were resolved. The unresolved cases are under investigation due to incomplete information or nonresponse from the parties involved.
For those who spoke up, complaints led to action. Through intervention and mediation, the authority facilitated refunds amounting to 2.78 million compared to the 2024 to 2025 fiscal year. This is a reduction by almost 50%.
Meanwhile, non-compliant business paid penalties amounting to a little over 70,000.
The figure smaller than the refunds indicate that the authorities approach still leans towards mediation and restitution rather than punishment. Two complex cases went a step further. The CCA referred them to the dispute settlement committee and independent body established under the consumer protection act 2012. Both involved or authorized vehicle dealers in the country. In one case, buyers of a particular vehicle model reported a recurring defect in the exterior finish which the committee recognized as a manufacturing defect. The dealer was directed to carry out one-time repairs on all affected vehicles for free. In the other, a faulty component in a vehicle led the committee to direct the dealer to replace the part, cover servicing costs, and honor the extended warranty. The authority says the findings show a continued need to strengthen consumer awareness and business compliance.
Looking ahead, it plans to expand enforcement, strengthen coordination with other agencies and increase the use of technology- based monitoring systems as Patan moves forward and expanded consumer protection and competition framework. Tashid Decker, BBS News.
In sports, the first ever Queen's Cup Basketball Championship has created a new space for women basketball enthusiasts in the country. The tournament concluded yesterday with team mares making history as the inaugural champions after defeating team Griffins in the final. More than just a competition, organizers say the tournament is a step towards encouraging more women to take up the sport.
The Tempu Basketball Center came alive as team Majas and team Griffins faced off in the final. After a closely contested start, Majas pulled ahead in the second half to secure a 5434 win and become the first ever Queen's Cup champions.

>> We are very happy to have reached the finals. Although we could not win this time, we worked very hard as a team and gave our best throughout the tournament.
We will take this experience as motivation and come back stronger and we'll continue working hard to win in the next tournament.
Organized by the Bhutan Basketball Federation with support from Vajra Construction Private Limited and the International Basketball Federation Foundation's Basketball for Good project. The Queen's Cup is the country's first basketball tournament dedicated entirely to women. However, organizers say attracting more female participants remains a challenge. Only five teams took part in the twoe inaugural edition.
>> There is still very low participation of girls in basketball. So, I would like to encourage more girls and young people to come forward and take part. You may feel nervous when you start, but with time and experience, you will become more confident and improve your skills.
>> I would encourage all young girls to continue playing and to participate in tournaments as much as they can and play whenever they can to grow and learn from the experiences cuz you learn a lot from tournaments.

For the past one month, football has kept millions of fans on the edge of their seats and Boutini supporters have been part of the thrill. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 final set to kick off a couple of hours from now at Metife Stadium in the US, anticipation is at its peak. Here in Bhutan, half a world away, fans have planned watch parties as they prepare to find out who will lift the trophy, Argentina or Spain. Our reporter Dika Pradan takes us through the excitement sweeping Bhutan ahead of the game which promises to be a spectacular Clash of the Titans.
>> The kickoff is at 1:00 a.m. Bhutan standard time. It's late into the night.
The weather in Tempo, a light drizzle almost throughout the day, but these have done little to dampen the spirit of football fans. Preparations are well underway at the Chanimita Stadium. Giant screens are ready and so is the excitement. The public screening funded by Coca-Cola Batan is free for everyone, bringing football lovers together for one unforgettable night.
The excitement does not stop at the national stadium. Pups across the capital are also hosting watch parties, turning the World Cup final into a celebration of football and friendship.
>> Fun about World Cup is it comes once in every four years and sometimes when you have watch parties like that, we meet friends which we haven't met in so long.
So sometimes like I meet friends from high school, sometimes the friends from college, sometimes my old work friends all come together and so that's what I think like a football brings a lot of people together. I think the unity is there.
>> At the basement, a sports bar in Tempu, preparations are equally in full swing.
Having hosted successful screenings during the last World Cup, the owner expects another packed crowd tonight.
2022 World Cup.
The same excitement is unfolding beyond the capital in Gilbushing Monger. The much anticipated final will be screened at a private hotel organized by a passionate football fan. The floors have been mobbed, seats arranged, monitors checked, and rooms prepared. At least 60 fans have already confirmed their participation, making it one of the biggest private gatherings organized in the area to witness the historic clash.
Hotel.chech.
Whether at the stadium, in hotels, pubs or community halls, one thing is certain. Tonight, thousands of Bhutanese football fans thousands of kilometers away from Midlife Stadium will stay awake long after midnight, feeling none of that distance or time for one final showdown. For 90 minutes, Bhutan will sit in the same room as the world that perhaps is a quiet promise of the beautiful game. No nation is too far and no fan too small to belong to it. Dika Pradan, BBS News.

Hello and kuza.
My name is Sing Yangzong. I am deaf [music] and I work at Wangil Institute for the Deaf. Communication is a fundamental human right. However, millions of deaf and heart of hearing individuals around the world face daily challenges in expressing themselves and understanding others due to language barriers. While sign language plays a vital role in bridging this gap, there remains a significant lack of accessible resources and tools for both deaf individuals and hearing people to effectively learn and use sign [music] language. Utan is no exception. Many deaf and heart of hearing individuals still face difficulties in accessing information and only a small number of hearing people are able to communicate using sign language.
To help address this communication gap, we are proud to introduce the Bhutanese Sign Language app, also known as BHSL [music] app.
A mobile application designed to make Putin sign language learning and communication accessible to everyone.
The app [music] was first developed in 2023 with funding support from the Bhutan Foundation.
This year the app has been upgraded with new and enhanced features with continued support from the Bhutan Foundation.
Key features of the BHSL app include number one, daily vocabulary learning with categorized words and quizzes to [music] test comprehension.
Number two, sentences and phrases to support basic communication skills.
number three, a discourse section featuring stories to deepen understanding of Putin sign [music] language.
And lastly, informative signing videos that share [music] facts about sign language and deaf people.
Whether you are [music] deaf, hard of hearing, a teacher, a parent, or simply someone interested [music] in learning Bhutanese sign language, the BHSL app is here to promote inclusive communication.
Download the BHSL app today and begin your journey in learning Bhutanese sign language.
We believe that communication should never be a barrier. Through the BHSL app, we are not only teaching science.
[music] We are fostering understanding, empathy, and connection.
Thank you.

[music] Only one in three voters turn out for Trump elections.

Switzerland [music] highway connectivity remains disrupted as temporary bridge construction plans storm.
Local [music] governments make decision that affect people's daily lives from waste management and urban planning to roads and public services. But in Thimu and Finselin Trumde only one in three registered voters took part in choosing their local representatives this year.
The election commission of Patan recorded a voter turnout of about 34% the lowest in the past three elections.
The commission says limited public awareness may have contributed to the decline.
The elected representatives in Trumi will play an important role in shaping urban development and delivering services for their communities. However, the Trumi election yesterday saw a lower level of participation among eligible voters. Of the more than 10,000 registered voters in Tempu and Finsling Tumb, only about 3,400 took part in choosing their local representatives.
Women made up the majority of those who cast their ballots. Of the total voters who participated, close to 2,000 were women compared to a little over 1,500 men. In terms of age, voters between 25 and 45 years made up the largest group of participants with around 1,250 people casting their votes. According to the election commission of Patan, the turnout marks a decline from previous to the day elections. Participation stood at 59.46% in 2021 and 37.25% in 2016. The low turnout has raised concerns over voter participation in local government elections. During the official results declaration, the commission said local government elections have traditionally seen lower participation but acknowledged the need to improve public awareness.
We are very concerned and are making efforts to encourage more people to come forward and cast their votes. What is equally important is raising public awareness and the media has a vital role to play in engaging and informing the public well before polling day.
While the elected representatives now begin their work, the commission said that meaningful local governance depends not only on those who are elected but also on citizens who participate. It urged people to exercise their right to vote and be part of decisions that shape their communities. With additional information from the Gilhazum Tashidar, BBS News, >> prices are rising and they are rising fast. Bhutan's inflation rate has more than doubled in just one year, increasing from 3.4% in May last year to almost 8% this May. According to the National Statistics Bureau, people are paying more for transport, housing, utilities, and even their daily doma.
Markets across the country, shoppers and shopkeepers say prices have been rising fast, making everyday purchases more expensive.
Compared to a year or two ago, the prices of goods have increased. The prices of butter, cheese, and eggs have gone up because of GST. Since GST is also imposed on animal feed, production costs have increased leading to higher prices for these products.
According to the National Statistics Bureau's monthly consumer price index report, inflation this May surged to 7.72%.
The Consumer Price Index tracks changes in the prices of goods and services that households commonly buy. On the food side, prices rose by 7.8%.
The sharpest increase came from alcoholic beverages and beetlenuts with prices in that category surging by more than 23%. Outside the food basket, non-food inflation climbed to 7.7%.
Transport recorded the steepest rise at almost 15%. For drivers and daily commuters, that increase is hard to ignore.
Since fuel prices increased, it has become difficult for us to repay our monthly loans and earn enough to support our families. Taxi fears have remained the same. We haven't raised them despite the increase in fuel prices. Even if we did, passengers would not be willing to pay more.
>> The housing and utilities index also rose by more than 11%. Restaurants and hotels saw prices climb by 8% adding to the financial pressure on households across the country. Inflation was not felt equally across the country.
Districts in western regions such as Punaka, Ha, Pero, Samsi, Chukha, Casa, Uniodra and Thimp recorded the highest rate at over 8%.
Perhaps the clearest way to understand inflation is through the purchasing power of the nitrum. A product that cost 51 num in December 2012 now costs about 100 num. In simple terms, the same amount of money now buys only about half as much as it did then. Over the past year alone, the purchasing power of the num fell by 7.17%.

Building a future city takes more than roads, bridges, and airports. It also means preparing hotels and businesses to respond when emergencies happen. Across Kalifu, fire extinguishers and first aid kits are becoming a common site as the GMC administration introduces new hospitality safety standards.
Walk into a shop, hotel, guest house, or restaurant today, and you may notice something new. Near the reception counter or kitchen entrance, many establishments now have fire extinguishers mounted on the walls, a fully stocked first aid kit with an easy reach, and in some establishments, feedback boxes for customers to share the experience. These are more than just new additions. They mark the beginning of a new safety culture as the Gilif Mindfulness City prepares its hospitality industry for international standards. For many business owners, the changes are both practical and reassuring. They say being prepared for emergencies is no longer just good practice. It is becoming an essential part of running a hospitality business.
In case of a fire or any emergency, having a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit will be very helpful. It will make both business owners and customers feel safer. I hope these benefit everyone in an emergency. A first aid kit allows us to provide immediate basic treatment before patients are taken to the hospital. It is something every business should have.
first eight box it's really important in life I mean everything which GMC is bringing up is very beneficial for us according to the tourism development group of the galifu mindfulness city administration the requirement is part of the upcoming GMC hospitality standards which are currently being developed the standards built on the existing safety and classification requirements of the department of tourism and will apply to hospitality accommodation establishments operating within GMC. Businesses will be responsible for providing and maintaining properly stocked first aid kits and functional fire extinguishers.
They are also expected to ensure staff are trained in their proper use. The administration says compliance will be monitored through GMC's quality audit process which will assess establishments, identify areas for improvement and guide businesses before certification along with safety equipment. Customer feedback mechanisms such as feedback boxes will also support efforts to improve hospitality services.
As Galifu transforms, GMC says building confidence among visitors begins with safer establishments, better services, and a stronger culture of preparedness.

Bhutan is formally back at the negotiating table to join the World Trade Organization WTO 18 years after talks last stalled. Led by the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Employment, the Bhutanese delegation attended the fifth Working Party meeting on the country's accession in Geneva, Switzerland recently.
The working party meeting essentially discusses and determines the trade rules, tariff limits and market access commitsment Bhutan may have to accept before becoming a member.
Speaking to the WTO members, Minister Namoji said the last 18 years enabled Bhutan to learn more, strengthen its institutions and become better prepared for the WTO membership.
He highlighted the reforms undertaken during the period including improvements to the trade and investment environment, modernization of laws, stronger public institutions, and efforts to diversify the economy.
Foreign speech. Foreign foreign foreign speech.
However, the cabinet approved the resumption last year following extensive national preparations. According to the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Employment, 19 accession related documents covering Bhutan's trade regime, laws, regulations, institutions, and market access commitments were updated, validated, and circulated ahead of the meeting.
Earlier media reports stated that the process has been slow and calculated due to several factors including the country's desire to protect its unique economic, cultural, and environmental characteristics while opening up to glob global trade. During the working party meeting, the minister highlighted Batan's structural challenges as a small landlocked developing country that recently graduated from the least developed country category. As such, members were asked to ensure their expectations and demands reflect the country's development needs as the accession negotiations progress.
for if everything goes as planned, the government's road map targets WTO membership by the end of 2028.

>> College students across the country could see their monthly stipent rise for the first time in 7 years. The Royal University of Bhutan has proposed raising the stipent from 2,500 num to up to 6,500 num per month amid the rising cost of living. The RUB submitted the proposal to the finance ministry in February this year.
Currently the majority of college students receive 2500 nitam as their monthly stipen except for the students of paru college of education and samsi college of education where students get 1,000 nitam more. College stiphens have not changed since 2019. On the other hand, food prices have according to the National Statistics Bureau's monthly consumer price index report inflation this May surged to 7.72%.
The index tracks changes in the prices of goods and services that households commonly buy. So we have done an analysis uh to see you know uh how much prices have gone up and whether the current uh stipen that the students are receiving from the government is uh uh adequate to meet the expenses they're supposed to meet and as per our uh analysis we we looked at the market race we asked students we looked at the inflation consumer price index etc. So the team has studied that and they found that uh food alone is costing anywhere between 2,500 to 3,000 plus per month.
Under the proposed revision, all students will receive a uniform amount of monthly stipen which is 4,000 netam for boarding students and 4,800 for day schoolers. However, students of post-graduate diploma in education, PGDE, currently receiving 5,000 nitam per month, could get 1,500 nitam extra if the proposal comes through. When the National Assembly last raised the stipened to 25,00 in 2019, lawmakers said the old amount could buy only around 300 calories a day against a requirement of 500 calories per student.
7 years on the RUB is making much the same case.
One reason why we are requesting uh for the stipen increase is to be able to give good food, nutritious food, balanced diet to our uh students. And if they receive a little more obviously they they they have uh you know uh uh enough to hopefully uh you know fulfill their dietary uh requirements and uh yeah maybe then that leaves some room for also you know cater to other needs like stationaries and toiletries etc. While acknowledging the government's resource constraints, the vice chancellor said he optimistic the proposal will be approved. Currently, college menus provide students with meat twice a week. If the revision is approved, colleges hope to improve the quality and variety of meals provided to students across the country. Meanwhile, students in schools are already benefiting from an increase in the stipen allocated for meals beginning this academic year. In boarding schools that provide three meals a day, the monthly stipen is 3,100 nit per student.
For schools providing two meals a day, students receive 2,65 nit per month.
While those students receiving one meal are allocated 1,035 NIM each every month. The finance ministry is currently reviewing the proposal which will have to weigh students plates against the state of the public purse before submitting it to the cabinet.

In the southern reaches of Mongar Zonk, a quiet crisis is unfolding not of roads or harvest but of words. Kondu, a language older than any written record of it, is falling silent. Registered population shrinking and empty households on the rise. They fear that when the older generation falls, the language will go with them. In this quiet valley of Duxa, the heart of Kungu, echoes of fading tongue linger in silence. Once the very means of communication kungduk is being crowded out by sanga kena and increasingly English and hindi among the younger generation this shift is fueled by persistent influence by YouTube and other social media platforms where these languages dominate. The steady exodus of Hunguk speaking community is hauling out the community as well as families scattered to towns for work, education, and convenience. The villages that sustain the language are emptying. The Geog registered population fell from over 1,200 in 2017 to just over a,000 in 2024. And the largest age group now is 65 and above. 60 gungons or empty households were also recorded in the Gok in 2024.
>> Our children do not live here and we mostly communicate in Zonkai and Zangla.
Besides, only a few young people are interested in learning the dialect.
Now our mother tongue is disappearing with our generation. The younger generation is no longer interested in learning it. I always tell my children that if they do not try and learn the dialect by their children's time, it will go extinct. I remind them that is our identity.
It is disheartening to see our gonduka decline. I tell our youngster that it is their responsibility to preserve and promote the language.
What the outside world knows about this language would barely fill a shelf.
Gonguk is spoken in just six remote villages of Bakla, Daka, Pangtang, Damar, Pal and Yangbari in the Gok.
Linguists formally documented it in 1991 and remains poorly studied. The dialect is unique with complex grammar and vocabulary different from what is spoken in the neighboring villages which is Sla and Kinka.
Currently, the center for Bhutan and Jenn Studies has secured the government's approval to research on Gonguk which is underway. The aim is to develop grammar for the native dialect.
We supporting them in every possible way because the initiative is important to preserve the dialect.
Meanwhile, 7-year-old Sanitenzan stumbles over the words, but he speaks them. In his hesitant voice lies a fragile hope that the younger generation of Gongdu might still choose to carry its mother tongue forward. After all, a grammar book can only preserve a language on paper, but children like San can keep it alive. for Namyanchu in Monger. This is Sing Dema, BBS News.
>> Plans to construct a temporary Bailey bridge at Chamkuna in Amachu have been stalled after the droo holding and investments declined to grant clearance.
Fininselling Chrom proposed its construction to restore traffic along the Fininselling Samsi highway and as an immediate measure to minimize traffic disruptions caused by recurring flooding in the Chamkuna area.
Repeated flooding caused by upstream landslides continues to pose risks to residents, disrupt traffic and affect daily activities.
Representatives from the Tomde Gwok Donkak police and other relevant agencies tabled the bridge construction proposal as a solution to the recurring issue during a stakeholders meeting held a few weeks ago. The bridge was planned within the DHI's Pinselling Township development project area and would reconnect with the Pinselling Sumi Highway beyond the affected section.
According to Pinselling Tom officials, the proposal received support from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. However, the project could not proceed after the DHI declined to issue the required clearance.
timeline.
>> Firstly, they said that they have to meet their project completion deadline and need to continue their work without interruption. The proposed belly bridge falls within their project area where they also have to construct a pedestrian bridge. Secondly, they said construction activities are currently in full swing with many work still underway. They said that diverting light vehicle traffic through the project area would disrupt the ongoing works and therefore we could not get the clearance.
Thomas.
>> The DHI on the other hand said as the Finsling Township development project remains an active construction site, constructing Bailey Bridge for vehicle movement through the area would disrupt ongoing works, restrict equipment and material movement and risk delaying the project which has to be completed before the revised ADB loan closing date. The project closing date has been extended to December 2027 after missing the initial December 2025 deadline.
The company added that the project will construct a new permanent pedestrian bridge designed to withstand flood and debris flow to restore connectivity.
The recurring flooding aside from affecting traffic flow and livelihoods has also damaged the developed areas of the penciling township development project.
It damaged infrastructure including concrete pavements, street footpaths, electrical cables in the trench and greenery and landscape works.
The flooding has huge effect on Pinselling Township development project.
We have also been indicating them that they have high stake. We have no idea of what short-term and long-term interventions they are putting in or planning as they have not told us anything. They are indicating that it is the responsibility of Tom and Dunk to do everything.

>> She added that the tomb has already spent more than 3 million gut on clearing flood debris. However, with a large volume of sediment continuing to accumulate, its removal and disposal have become increasingly challenging.
According to the tomb, sediment management has been identified as a key component of the long-term strategy. The tomb has also written to the department of geology and mines to explore the possibility of exporting the sediment following suggestions from exporters.
For now, the tomb is monitoring the accumulation of sediment to assess the extent of the deposits before finalizing long-term redevelopment and flood mitigation plans for Kilm and Anita Chetrike PBS News.
