Nagaland governor RN Ravi has extended warm greetings to the people of Nagaland on the occasion of Dussehra and Durga Puja and prayed that “this auspicious festival inspire us to follow the path of virtue and guide us towards oneness, peace and happiness.”
In his message, Ravi said Durga Puja celebrates the mother goddess and her victory over the demon Mahishasura.
“This festival is a celebration of victory of truth over falsehood, triumph of the righteous and defeat of the evil,” he said.
Governor has, however, suggested celebrating Durga Puja festival by observing all the COVID-19 protocols this year as it was “absolutely necessary for the safety of our people”.
