There are now 29 registered civil society organisations in Bhutan and numerous others in the community. How effective have the CSOs been? While we been complementing the work of the government so far, how else may CSOs serve an evolving democracy like Bhutan?

( CSO rules currently define CSOs as “service” providers in a social welfare context. The Anti-Corruption Commission of Bhutan recently described the possibility of CSOs taking on a watchdog role in society , holding government accountable. What are Bhutanese views on civil society and how may we strengthen civil society space in a new democracy?

1. Is there anything that government can do to speed up the widening of Trashigang-Samdrup Jongkhar high way without disturbing the normal traffic flow?
2. We are experiencing poor road quality and it is one of the feedbacks left by tourist visiting our country. The cause of such situation is not because of government spending less on roads, it is due to the poor maintenance work carried out
3. As we experience road accidents on rise, as always RSTA and traffic police blames on people’s negligence. Does that mean we can rule out poor quality and mechanical failure of cars from the list of causes of accident in our country?
4. Is there any guideline in place to control the quality of cars that are being tested only for plain areas before we import?
