ITANAGAR, Mar 17: Governor Brig. (Dr.) B. D. Mishra (Retd.) and Chief Minister Pema Khandu have extended greetings to the people of the State on the festive occasion of Holi. 
In his festival message, the Governor said that Holi is celebrated differently in different parts of the country. It symbolises the victory of good over evil. Holi also marks the arrival of spring, a season, when Mother Nature manifests its beauty and grandeur in a colourful splash all around, rekindling the verve and zest for life. Symbolically, Holi stands for the start of a new life of spiritual wisdom and devotion. Let the festival of colour inspire us to follow the cherished principles of Nationalism, peace, love and universal brotherhood, he said.
May this year’s festival of colours strengthen the social bonding and usher in new hope for a brighter future for all of us. I wish that the spirit of Holi inspires us to pursue our cherished goals of harmony, and amity, the Governor said in his message.
“This Holi let’s get united together forgetting all resentments and all types of bad feeling towards each other,” Khandu said in a message this evening.
He said the celebration of various legends associated with Holi reassure the people of the power of truth, as the moral of the festival is the ultimate victory of good over evil.
“The festival is a reminder to help people to follow good conduct in their lives and believe in the virtue of being truthful. This is extremely important in the modern day society when so many people resort to evil practices for small gains. Holi helps us to believe in the virtue of being truthful and honest and also to fight away all kinds of evil,” he added.
Wishing everyone a colourful festival, Khandu however reminded that while playing with colours the sentiment of others must be respected. He also called for a safe and pollution free celebration.
