Thereafter, the Flag Blessing at Minnneriya Dewalaya and a Bodhi Pooja at the camp premises were held to invoke the blessing for the Regiment on 08 November 2024 as religious observances. On 10 November 2024, Offrs and ORs of the Regiment accorded a Guard of honour and an impressive Parade to the Commanding Officer. The celebration was enhanced by the symbolic act of planting an orange sapling, a group photo and All Rank lunch to commemorate the anniversary.
