The green warriors are proud to have been given the opportunity to serve as frontliners to combat COVID 19. They were tasked to carry out patrolling along the borders to prevent the illegal entry and exit of people across borders to control the import of disease into the country. Foresters along with RBP and Desuups are engaged in manning Points of Entry (PoE) for 24 hours. Observation Posts at PoEs are built by the foresters to lessen the burden to the national exchequer.
Other voluntary services include repair of irrigation channels for our Indian neighbours (water source is from Bhutan) so as to ensure agriculture does not suffer.
