From the pages of The Hindu, September 5, 1974: Bhutan against appointment of new Indian Advisers

The Hindu  

Calcutta, Sept. 4: In its efforts progressively to assert its independence, Bhutan is understood to have told India that it will not encourage the appointment of any new administrative Advisers from India. The Bhutanese Government is not asking Delhi to withdraw the Advisers now at work, but it wishes to have no replacement when the various Indian Advisers finish their assigned terms. In charge of the Bhutanese Government is the Indian Political Officer at Thimpu, who, like a Resident Minister, advises the King on foreign and basic elements of modern Police laws into Bhutan. At present, there are senior Indian Advisers attached to the Bhutanese Ministries of Finance Development, and Trade, among others.
