In his message, Governor said that in the current age of global warming, the age-old traditions like Khiksabha encourage all to work towards ecologically sustainable development with prudent use of natural resources. I am sanguine that celebration of this festival will continue to motivate all to safeguard the bounties of nature and let us keep the pristine glory and harmonize development imperatives with our conservation concerns, his message said.
Joining the celebrations, Chief Minister  offered prayers to the deities and mountain spirit for the well-being of all and appreciated the Sherdukpens for maintaining the age old culture and traditions.
