After the government assumed its office today, Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay issued four executive orders and ten directives to various ministries for immediate implementation. One of the four executive orders is to discontinue the collection of Nu 10 at the Phuentshogling Pedestrian Terminal with immediate effect.

An executive order on the establishment of the Economic Development Board was also issued. The first meeting of the board is to be held within a month.

Another executive order is for the establishment of a high-level task force to formulate the implementation plan for the 15 Billion Economic Stimulus Plan. The plan is to be submitted to the government by 1st March, this year.

The fourth executive order is on the establishment of a committee to study the regularisation of contract employees. The report has to be submitted to the government within one month.

Besides the executive orders, the prime minister has directed the finance ministry to work on the revision of the tenancy agreement for residents of the Changjiji colony and to formulate plans to develop more low-income housing.
