I express my heartiest greetings and best wishes to all residents of Andaman & Nicobar Islands on the auspicious occasion of “Eid-ul-Fitr”.

I sincerely hope that this joyous occasion would be the harbinger of sustained peace, progress, prosperity and happiness and would further strengthen the bonds of communal harmony, brotherhood and amity, which are the hallmarks of Andaman and Nicobar Islands’ glorious pluralistic traditions.

This day demands us remember the poor and needy, and share the happiness with them.

This festival enhances the spirit of brotherhood, love, peace, harmony, sacrifice, and compassion.

May the festival bring all the people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands together in a celebration of our composite culture and spread peace and harmony and bring prosperity to all.
