The competition, started since 2013, is an annual event.
Royal Bhutan Army’s Chief Operation Officer, Lieutenant General Batoo Tshering graced the occasion and expressed gratitude to the Supreme Commander in Chief, His Majesty The King for supporting the Armed forces in various fields.
For this year’s raising day, the police pledged to enhance public friendly policing and improve response time. They also pledged to intensify operations to curtail drug-related issues and make RBP a corruption free organization.
