(The Kasho in full)

On the 24th of June, the historic Wangduephodrang Dzong was destroyed by fire. However, through the efforts of the armed forces, dzongkhag officials, De-suups and concerned citizens, we were able to retrieve our sacred relics. I am deeply grateful.

 

It is through the strength and faith of our people and the spirituality of our nation that these sacred ancient treasures remain with us, in spite of the tragic fire.

 

In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, our people from all walks of life have strived, within each one’s means, to contribute towards fulfilling our fervent hope that the dzong may be urgently restored.

 

I am deeply touched and inspired by our people’s unity and nobility of purpose.

Therefore, I hereby grant Nu.100 million from the Armed Forces to the Zhung Dratshang for the Dzong Reconstruction Fund.

 

In addition, I offer Nu.100 million from the Kidu Foundation.

 

These funds I grant on behalf of our People of the 20 dzongkhags and together as one, my People and I, pray for the continued peace, prosperity and happiness of our beloved nation.

 

Granted on the 13th of July 2012

Punakha Dzong.

His Majesty the Druk Gyalpo
