On the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan, I extend my warm greetings and best wishes to the people of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Raksha Bandhan is a cherished festival that celebrates the sacred bond of love, affection and mutual trust between brothers and sisters. The thread of Rakhi symbolises not only protection but also the enduring values of care, respect, responsibility and togetherness that strengthen the bonds of family and society.
On this joyous occasion, let us reaffirm our commitment to nurturing harmony, compassion and mutual respect in our homes and communities. May the spirit of Raksha Bandhan inspire us to stand by one another and strengthen the bonds of unity and brotherhood.
I wish everyone a happy, peaceful and blessed Raksha Bandhan. May this festival bring happiness, prosperity and well-being to every family.
