"As part of our solidarity to the celebration of Democracy Day, I granted amnesty to 73 inmates, some government functionaries will also go round and assist less privileged citizens".

The Governor assured that the State Executive Council would continue to work as a team in order to tackle the challenges affecting the progress and development of the state.
