His Majesty spent the day today with the people of the east in Kanglung, Tashigang. Thousands of people from across the dzongkhags of the east gathered at the grounds of Sherubtse College to meet with His Majesty.  
Speaking to the gathering, His Majesty thanked the people of Bhutan for their wholehearted and unfaltering support for all initiatives introduced in recent years to further our national aspirations and strengthen our collective future. 
The students of Sherubtse College and groups from the villages and gewogs of the east presented songs and dances for the celebration, and partook of Royal Tokha.

The wait for a new primary healthcare centre in Merak in Trashigang is finally over. The new centre was inaugurated recently in commemoration of the birth of Her Royal Highness the Princess. The construction of the healthcare centre started some eight years ago but could not be completed on time.
