The Prime Minister said a greater disaster was averted and fire contained successfully due to the supervision and guidance of His Royal Highness the Gyaltshab.
His Royal Highness personally supervised a group of volunteers, armed force personnel, DeSuups, and civil servants in fighting the fire and evacuating belongings.
After the fire was contained, HRH met with the victims and conveyed His Majesty’s deep concerns, as well as the Royal Command to the Dzongkhag to immediately extend all support necessary.
On the Command of His Majesty The King, the Office of the Gyaltshab and Monggar Dzongkhag arranged accommodation, food and other relief measures for the affected families.
