On the auspicious occasion of ‘Janmashtami’, I extend my warm greetings to all the residents of A&N Islands.
The festival of Sri Krishna Janmashtami reminds us of the eternal message of Lord Sri Krishna through Bhagavad Gita, affirming the foundation for building a harmonious society and ensuring the welfare of people.
I would like to appeal to the Islanders to celebrate the festival while adhering to COVID-appropriate behavior and participate in the COVID vaccination drive. Adolescents are also urged to get vaccinated at the earliest.
I wish that this pious festival would be a harbinger of peace, progress and prosperity while strengthening the bonds of brotherhood and harmony among the islanders.
