Kohima, Mar 24: Nagaland Governor P B Acharya and Chief Minister T R Zeliang extended their greetings to the people of the state on the occasion of Holi.

Acharya said Holi signifies the triumph of good over evil and the celebrations bring about the spirit of Universal brotherhood, love and the power of truth which also bridges the social gap and renews relationships.

Nagaland has been passing through a period of turmoil for a long time and now it is the right time to come out of it and make fresh initiatives for permanent peace in the state, he said and called upon all the civil societies to be united and work for the success of peace talks between the Centre and Naga political groups.

"Let us through the spirit of Holi transcend all barriers and strengthen our social fabric to make our Nagaland a golden Nagaland by bringing our society together with the spirit of forgiving and renewing fellowship," he appealed.

Holi was being celebrated with fervour in Nagaland. Zeliang in his greetings hoped that the festival of colours will renew the feeling of togetherness and fulfil the hopes and aspirations of the people of the state and bring in happiness, peace, and prosperity for all.

Nagaland PCC president K Therie said the festival of colours is a good opportunity to renew and strengthen the social bonds of brotherhood and mutual respect between communities.

It is also a good time to spread the message of peace, joy and love across society and to celebrate unity in diversity.
