On the joyous and auspicious occasion of Christmas, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all the residents of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Christmas, commemorating the birth of Lord Jesus Christ, is a sacred festival that inspires us to reflect upon His life and teachings, which are founded on the principles of love, compassion, forgiveness and selfless service to humanity. This holy occasion reminds us of the enduring values of sacrifice, harmony, kindness and peace and calls upon us to further strengthen the bonds of unity, mutual respect and brotherhood among all sections of society.
May this blessed festival bring renewed hope, happiness and prosperity to every household and may our Islands continue to progress along the path of peace, inclusive growth and collective well -being.
I convey my warm wishes to all for a Merry Christmas and a season filled with peace and goodwill.
