On the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, I extend my warm greetings and best wishes to all the residents of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
Lord Ganesha, the revered remover of obstacles and the embodiment of wisdom, prosperity and righteousness, inspires us to dedicate ourselves to the service of humanity and to the pursuit of harmony and unity. May his divine blessings bestow upon us the strength to overcome challenges, the wisdom to make enlightened choices and the resolve to work collectively for the welfare of our Islands.
This sacred festival, observed with devotion and joy, reinforces the bonds of fraternity, goodwill and mutual respect among our diverse communities. It is an occasion that not only celebrates faith but also strengthens our shared commitment to peace, sustainable progress and inclusive prosperity.
On this joyous festival, I convey my sincere wishes for happiness, harmony and fulfilment to every family across our Islands.
