ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) Dr B D Mishra on Thursday called upon the people, particularly the youth to cooperate and partake in the developmental process of the State.
Participating in the Golden Jubilee celebration of the State's foundation day at Ziro in Lower Subansiri district, the Governor urged the people to take resolution on the special day to take Arunachal Pradesh forward towards prosperity.
Mishra exhorted the people to dedicate themselves towards the all-round development of the State, for which they and their posterity will be proud of when the State celebrates its centenary year.
He advised the people to work with the spirit of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas' mantra, given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and maintain transparency, accountability, probity, promptness, equal dispensation, audit and mid course correction in all spheres of affairs. Stating that good governance is the key to a nation's development and people's progress, the governor asked the government officials to be accountable, have probity, act with promptness, make equal dispensation to one and all and constantly review their own course of work for improvement wherever necessary.
Sharing his pain and deep concern about disruption of the normal life of common man due to the frequent agitations and bandh, Mishra said that the bandh culture is a hindrance to the developmental process. As responsible citizens, everyone must have zero tolerance and rise against the bandh culture, he said.
He also cautioned the people about the rising number of COVID positive cases and appealed to them to wear facemasks, wash hands frequently, and follow social distancing at every place including offices, shops, streets and other public places and during all interactions.
Earlier, the Governor launched the Golden Jubilee media campaign on State tourism and felicitated former Chief Ministers.
Union Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju, Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, Assembly Speaker Pasang Dorjee Sona, members of the state cabinet and Legislative Assembly and MPs participated in the programme.
