Starting Tuesday, professional driving license holders and commercial drivers will be required to undergo drug tests. The test is a collaborative effort between the Royal Bhutan Police and the Bhutan Construction and Transport Authority.

According to a news release from the National Drug Task Force issued this morning, the initiative aims to address behavioural and mental health disorders triggered by substance use and provide effective treatment and care for those who need it.

As stated in the news release, the drivers will be contacted and required to report to the nearest Drug Testing Center. However, drivers who voluntarily admit to drug use will be referred to the nearest treatment centres without the need for drug tests.

There are plans to expand the screening and timely interventions to include civil servants, corporate and private employees and armed force personnel among others.
