It’s stark midnight. Out on Thimphu Street was frost-cold and
bone chilling. Drayangs, karaoke and discotheques - all nightlife
entertainments – sprang into life. On the street, you can see rebellious
teenagers picking up fights with policemen. Others were simply drunk and
run-rounding the street, no different from those stray dogs, barking, foul.
Amidst all this, you can find a group of young people here,
on Thimphu Street, walking around. Go closer to them. Watch carefully. You can
see some of them carrying hot flasks and snacks. All night, they walk around
the street and serve hot tea and snacks to the late night Police Patrolling
Party. And you can see the brightest smile and happiness on faces of policemen
as they sip on hot tea.
You don’t know how thrilled I was when I first learnt about
this youth initiative. My heart swelled with both pride and amazement at these
youth, exceedingly generous souls, who make so much for our police and our
community.
According to the group, this initiative is called "HANDS
OF TRUST" and is being coordinated by the Bhutan Youth Foundation (BYF). Mr.
Bharat Rana, the founder of BYF, wrote,
“This small Project is a partnership project to support and
respect the Royal Bhutan Police for…protecting our community from all kinds
of Danger. They make lots of sacrifices to safeguard our community. We launched
this Project…Distributing Hot Tea and Snacks to the late night Police
Patrolling Party.”
In actuality, what they give was so little. Just a cup of
tea. But it’s one way how we can show some grace and appreciation to our police
force, the guardians of peace.
Because of them we are protected, we sleep peacefully, we
walk free from dangers. This initiative is not only about distributing hot tea
to our police at night, but trying to show them support and respect. I believe
that this would certainly make our policemen a little happier, their work a
little easier, and make their day better.
