May the lamps of compassion, kindness, love and righteousness be lit in our mind and heart. Let good thoughts motivate us all to fight corruption, nepotism, and ill will. We must unite and move on the path of progress and development, he said.
While extending his complements to each and every citizens of Arunachal Pradesh, the Governor has also appeal to them to ensure a healthy Deepawali celebration. It is time to discard and disassociate ourselves from noise making crackers and fireworks which degrade the atmosphere. We owe it to the society to preserve its ambience and serenity from the damages caused by noise pollution and poisonous gases emitted from the chemicals of the crackers and fireworks, the Governor exhorted.
This Deepawali day, we make a pledge to promote fraternity in the society and eradicate illiteracy, poverty, discrimination, and malice, the Governor said while wishing a very Happy Deepawali to all.

The Chief Minister called upon all, irrespective of religious affiliations, to inculcate the message of Deepawali into their thoughts and lives, which is ‘victory of truth over evil’ and ‘victory of light over darkness’.
