On the auspicious occasion of 'Holi', I extend my warm and best wishes to all the residents of A&N Islands.

Introducing different colors of our culture and nature, this festival gives us the message of unity in diversity as well as brotherhood and harmony. On this occasion, I wish that the mutual love and goodwill between the people of these Islands become more intense.

I appeal to the Islanders to strictly follow COVID-19 guidelines and COVID appropriate behaviour and get vaccinated on time and also urge the adolescents to vaccinate themselves at the earliest.

On this auspicious occasion, I wish that the color and enthusiasm of Holi bring prosperity and happiness and these beautiful Islands always be oriented towards the path of progress.
