The Bhutanese, a news organization that previously stated Bhutan turned down an offer from Indian oil companies for E20 fuel, has pushed back against an Indian government fact-check that denied any such proposal existed. Tenzing Lamsang, the editor of The Bhutanese, released the written reply from the Trade Department that served as the basis for their original article. Lamsang stated that they remain committed to their reporting, which was supported by both written and spoken responses from official representatives.
