His Majesty The King arrived in Thimphu after a tour of Phuentshogling and Samtse to inspect measures against COVID-19. The Prime Minister accompanied His Majesty.

His Majesty travelled to Phuentshogling on May 9, and visited the temporary housing built for people evacuated from Jaigoan, at the Amochu Land Development and Township Project area. The structures built by the RBA are completed and will accommodate 1,000 families. The first 40 households moved into the new houses today, in a tendrel ceremony attended by the Prime Minister. Allotment is ongoing for the remaining families.

While in Phuentshogling, His Majesty also granted an audience to the Phuentshogling COVID-19 task force, and inspected the border from Pasakha to Phuentshogling. The stretch is manned by DeSuups, RBA and RBP personnel, retired armed force personnel and volunteers from the Department of Revenue and Customs, Department of Forests, and National Land Commission on sentry duty at numerous outposts. His Majesty met with the personnel on duty at these outposts, and commended them for their work.

In Samtse, His Majesty The King visited the site for the Gyalsung Training Centre in Jamtsholing, where preparatory work is underway for construction to begin.

His Majesty also granted separate Audiences to the DeSuups undergoing the 39th Batch accelerated DeSuung training at Samtse, Tashicholing, and Tendruk. Volunteers are being trained at Samdrup Jongkhar, Sarpang, Wangdue Phodrang, and Paro as well as three locations in Samtse for the 39th Batch, which took in 2851 men and women for the accelerated training.

With the addition of the 39th batch the overall strength of the DeSuung will be 9,873 men and women. Trainees of the 38th accelerated batch have already joined other DeSuups engaged with COVID-19 related activities, to serve at various locations across the country for sentry, patrolling, quarantine support, and stocking essential goods.
