Port Blair, April 19: Two distinguished identities of the natives of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are above all other Identities, said the Lt. Governor of these islands, Lt. General AK Singh (Retd) on Monday.
“Firstly, people of the Islands are proud Indians and secondly they all belong to the A&N Islands. The past of the Islands is a saga of sacrifice, selflessness and contribution to the National cause and we have to move forward using this rich past as our base and great heritage,” he said during a function at Raj Niwas.
Referring to the recent Maha Sammelans organized by two local communities, he said that he has recently read about these conferences in local newspapers. He said that people should maintain their culture for the future generation. “You should be very proud of your heritage but not at the expense of Andamans,” he said. People present during the programme much-admired this brilliant statement made by the Lt. Governor with huge round of applause.
