Addressing the gathering at the launching programme of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign at Ward no.17, Mayor opined that the real concept of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav was unity and supporting each other in the time of distress. "So, I appeal to everyone to come forward and extend all possible support in cash or kind to the victims of the flash flood," said Phassang.
The Mayor also appealed to the Chief Minister and Union Minister Kiren Rijiju to call a special meeting to extend help to the victims of the flash flood.
