Nagaland Governor, Prof. Jagdish Mukhi, chief minister Neiphiu Rio, deputy CM Y. Patton and NPCC president K. Therie have extended Diwali greetings to the people of Nagaland.
In his greeting, governor Mukhi said Diwali, the festival of lights, signifies victory of light over darkness, good over evil, truth over falsehood and knowledge over ignorance.
Besides decorating homes with colours, he said it also gives an opportunity for people to spend time together and foster good relationships in the family, workplace and society.
“May the spirit of the festival guide us from darkness to light. May you all be blessed with good health, joy and prosperity,” Mukhi said.
CM: Extending Diwali greetings, chief minister Rio hoped that the festival of lights, which celebrates the victory of good over evil and light over darkness, brighten our lives and strengthen bonds. He also urged all to celebrate the festival responsibly and to stay safe.
Dy.CM: Deputy chief minister Y. Patton said that the great Indian festival of lights, which signifies triumph of good over evil should light up the life of everyone celebrating it.
Patton, however, expressed concerns about the random display of fireworks which becomes hazardous.
On behalf of the state BJP legislators, Patton conveyed Diwali greetings and prayed that the celebrations would bring joy, peace and prosperity.
NPCC: Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Therie greeted the Hindu community on the occasion of Deepawali. He said the celebration of good over evil and light over darkness remind all that evil and darkness never triumph, while good deeds and truth always prevail.
