“I am sure that the people of both the States will preserve their extraordinary natural heritage and cultural traditions. I wish the wonderful people of Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram script new chapters of progress and excellence,” Murmu added.
Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen K T Parnaik (Retd) has reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to improving infrastructure, digital connectivity, and public services to enhance the quality of life for all citizens.
Unfurling the national tri-colour at IG Park on the occasion of the 39th Statehood Day on Thursday, the governor acknowledged the state’s remarkable progress but emphasised the need to address ongoing challenges.
“On February 20, 1987, Arunachal Pradesh became the 24th state of India. From the snow-capped peaks of Tawang to the lush valleys of Ziro, our state is not just a place on the map but a home to resilient hearts, rich cultural heritage, traditions and boundless dreams,” Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu asserted.
Khand added, “Our journey has been one of strength, unity, and determination. Every river that flows, every mountain that stands tall and every smile that graces our people’s faces, is proof of our never give-up spirit.”
