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.

With the Gelephu Mindfulness City expected to bring more traffic to southern Bhutan, widening works have begun along a key section of the Tsirang–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.
