On the auspicious occasion of 'Janmashtami', I extend my warm greetings to all the residents of A&N Islands.

As we celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, let us reflect on his timeless teachings of righteousness, compassion, and devotion. May this auspicious day inspire us to strive for unity, harmony, and spiritual growth in our lives.

Janmashtami reminds us of the victory of good over evil and the importance of upholding moral values. Let us come together as a community to foster understanding, respect and love among all residents of our beautiful Islands.

On this joyous occasion, I wish this festival brings happiness, peace, and prosperity in the lives of every Islander.
