Preparations Complete
WITH preparations completed, the Far-Western Region eagerly awaits Their Majesties the
King and Queen to arrive in Dhangadhi for a grand civic reception the people in the region
are hosting in honour of the Royal Couple. Colourful welcome gates line up the roads and
people from the neighbouring districts have already come to the district headquarters of
Kailali to join in the civic reception for Their Majesties. The organising committee
expects more than 100,000 people to attend the function, the first of its kind for the
region after the accession to the throne by His Majesty King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev
and second civic reception to the Royal Couple after the people of eastern region hosted a
grand ceremony in Biratnagar in January this year. The mood of the people is upbeat and
the pace of development works in the region has speeded up. His Majesty is scheduled to
address the civic ceremony in Dhangadhi. Radio Nepal and Nepal Television will bring the
ceremony live to the homes across the kingdom, where the general masses, who have always
lived with Monarchial Culture as part of their lives, are expected to tune in for the live
coverage of the function. Especially at a time when the nation is seeing hopes only now
that a lasting peace will return, the address by His Majesty the King to the people of
far-west bears more significance. The tradition in the Kingdom has been that whenever the
nation and the people are in difficulties, it has been the Monarch, an irrevocable
institution, to look up to for a way out. The guidance the Nepalese people have found
forthcoming from His Majesty to lead the country on the path of progress ever since His
Majesty's accession to the throne has been proof that Nepal's Monarchs have people and the
nation at the core of their hearts. The traditional bond based on the Monarchs' love for
the nation and the people and the reciprocal reverence the common people hold deep at
heart for the Monarchy will further get stronger when the Far-West will have hosted the
civic reception.
