Thimphu, Bhutan - In a bid to combat the growing menace of noise pollution caused by modified silencers in cars and bikes, law enforcement agencies in Thimphu have turned to advanced noise-detecting technology. These agencies have taken a proactive stance against the loud and aggressive sounds emitted by these vehicles, which disrupt neighborhood tranquility, sleep patterns, and pose potential health risks.

Recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach, the Bhutan Construction and Transport Authority has recently acquired 28 state-of-the-art noise detection devices. These devices will be...

In a recent turn of events, the tenants of the National Housing Development Corporation Limited (NHDCL) in Phuentsholing face a challenging situation as heavy rainfall caused significant damage to their properties. The incident occurred in the early morning of July 13, when flash floods triggered by the intense monsoon rain affected five buildings and ten tenants. The severity of the situation has left the victims eagerly awaiting any form of compensation. However, the NHDCL has stated that the affected tenants will not be eligible for compensation. This decision has been attributed to the fact that the tenants did not have insurance coverage for their damaged properties. The heavy monsoon rain caused nearby streams to swell, leading to the flash floods that wreaked havoc on the NHDCL buildings. As a result, several properties suffered extensive damage, leaving tenants grappling with the loss. Despite the desperate situation faced by the tenants, the NHDCL's stance on c...

In a growing concern over escalating attrition rates in Bhutan's health and education sectors, skilled professionals departing for foreign countries have raised worries about the effectiveness and quality of services within these critical sectors.
