The
nation came together in festivity as people all across the country celebrated
the 48th anniversary of His Majesty the fourth Druk Gyalpo.
In
Thimphu, thousands of students, the dratshang, civil servants and members
of the armed forces flocked to the Changlimithang national stadium to take
part in the celebrations.
Addressing
the thousands gathered at the Changlimithang stadium, the minister of labour
and human resources, Lyonpo Ugyen Tshering, said that the peace and prosperity
the Bhutanese people enjoyed today was because of His Majesty's leadership
and vision.
As
is the tradition the students did a march past and performed skits and
dances for the public. A highlight of the activities performed by the school
children was the traditional wrestling competition that had the spectators
roaring. The Changzamtog school beat Yangchenphu in the finals to win the
top prize. In the evening, the IMTRAT band performed Hindi and English
at the clock tower centre. |
