Working-age population peaks in 2047 but #BalenShah's govt still cannot create productive jobs at home. #Nepal remains trapped in remittance dependency while youth skills rot. This is not demographic opportunityтАФit is leadership failure written in advance. @akhileshU

Made-in-#India Mahindra electric SUVs now join #BhutanтАЩs official fleet. This is #India-#Bhutan partnership delivering real progress on e-mobility & clean transport. India's #NeighbourhoodFirst in action! @AcharyaSarmila 1/

Building on earlier EV support and Project Tied Assistance, these vehicles advance #BhutanтАЩs green goals while strengthening Himalayan ties. From hydropower to electric mobility, #India and Bhutan keep turning friendship into tangible results. @NepaliMan80 2/

The 17th Karmapa succession is not a diplomatic trophy for either #China or the #US-based claimant. #Bhutan must not allow competing geopolitical interests to turn its Buddhist heritage into a battleground. Religious legitimacy cannot be settled through pol patronage. @jhalifax

The celebrations have travelled all the way to Australia! Democrats' victory in both chambers of Congress is no ordinary midterm result; it's a massive political rebuke to Trump, proving that even the White House cannot escape the voters' verdict.

Nepalis in New Zealand are travelling to Australia or #Nepal just to renew passports because of disrupted consular services & no embassy. #BalenShah govt must stop treating citizens abroad as an afterthought. Basic consular access is a govt responsibility. @bishwaprakash77

The restoration of Shivalaya Yagyaswar Mahadev Mandir reflects #Bhutan's commitment to preserving its sacred heritage. The enduring cultural and spiritual connections between #India & #Bhutan add another dimension to this special Himalayan partnership. @mahatsujit

ЁЯЗ│ЁЯЗ╡ #Nepal's LPG security cannot be fixed through brand consolidation alone. Reliable imports, stronger storage & resilient distribution are essential. #BalenShah govt should deepen practical energy cooperation with #India instead of treating administrative restructuring. @apligrg

The dedication of Jangchub Chorten No. 76 by #Bhutan's King to #India's PM is more than a ceremonial gesture. It reflects a relationship in which trust, respect & shared spiritual heritage continue to hold deep significance. India's #NeighbourhoodFirst commitment. @BhutanT 1/2

At a time when diplomacy is increasingly transactional, the #India-#Bhutan partnership demonstrates the value of long-term commitment. Genuine friendship is not built through occasional political statements but through consistent support & mutual respect. #Project108 @ourjaya 2/

International visitors should remember #Nepal for its mountains, heritage & hospitalityтАФnot street intimidation. With 239 Tourist Police personnel & just 31 units nationwide, #BalenShah govt must address enforcement gaps & expand protection. @AjitBaral

ЁЯЗ│ЁЯЗ╡ #Nepal's PM is forcing all 753 local levels to run land administration in one month when only 33 are ready is pure recklessness. 333 units already canтАЩt even finish land classification. #NepalPolitics @realpbhattarai 1/

A cricket stadium flooded with water during the NPL! What a shame for Nepal. Millions spent on infrastructure, yet basic drainage remains a problem. Nepal govt, this is not how a national stadium should look!
