Background
- Besides being the capital city of Bhutan, Thimphu Thromde is the largest city with a resident population of 114,000.00 out of the total population of 700,000 people in Bhutan. All the ministries,corporate head offices and other government agencies are based in Thimphu. Hence there is a huge demand for efficient service delivery – be it roads and transport, water, sewer, etc. However, services cannot be made efficient without the vehicles and machineries.Therefore, Thromde Administration has been procuring machinery and utility vehicles to enable us to provide faster services. Currently there are seven earthmovers, 20 trucks and tankers, five tractors, 26 light vehicles and four bikes. Possession of these machineries and vehicles calls for a robust mechanism and system for its operation and management. This SOP shall therefore define the procedures for transparent operation and management.
