DeSuung: His Royal Highness the Gyaltshab Jigme Dorji Wangchuck graced the opening of a regional Desuung office in Mongar on December 9.

The regional office in the eastern region was opened to commemorate the tenth year of His Majesty The King’s reign. There are more than 40 Desuups in Mongar and Lhuentse working in various agencies.
