Q. The Gelephu Special Administration Region (SAR), that was recently in news, is located in which country?
Answer:
Bhutan
Notes: King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan recently unveiled plans for the Gelephu Special Administration Region (SAR), a 1,000 sq km mega city project near the Indian border. The $4.5 billion project aims to transform the southern border town of Gelephu into an economic hub and signals Bhutan's ambitions to leverage connectivity with India to spur trade and investments. Positioned as a gateway between South Asia and Southeast Asia, the SAR would have its own laws and systems to attract foreign investments. During his recent visit to India, the King discussed the project with PM Modi, as India is expected to be a key partner in the endeavor through rail and road connectivity.
