On the Foundation Day of the Union Territories of Chandigarh, Delhi, Lakshadweep & Puducherry on 1st November, 2023, I extend my warm greetings to the people of all the four UTs residing in these Islands. On this occasion, I would like to celebrate the unique bond that unites us, transcending geographical distances and cultural diversity.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, has welcomed people from different parts of India. Much like Chandigarh, Delhi, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry, our Islands reflect the mosaic of our nation’s diversity. The spirit of unity in diversity has found a home in our hearts.
All Union Territories have their distinctive charms, just as our islands have their own unique allure. The vibrant urban landscapes of Delhi and Chandigarh, the pristine natural beauty of Lakshadweep, and the cultural richness of Puducherry all find resonance in the diverse tapestry of our islands. Your presence here enriches our community and strengthens our cultural mosaic.
On this day, let us celebrate the remarkable connections that bind us, transcending regional boundaries. May this occasion remind us of our shared values, cultural heritage, and the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat.’
I extend my heartfelt greetings to all the residents of Chandigarh, Delhi, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry living in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. May your presence continue to enrich our islands, and may our collective efforts contribute to a prosperous and harmonious community.
