The Governor prayed for peace, harmony, brotherhood, progress and prosperity in the State.
In his message on Baisakhi eve, the Chief Minister highlighted the rich ethos of Jammu and Kashmir of celebrating festivals and holy occasions in an atmosphere of brotherhood and amity. He expressed the hope that this characteristic of the State would get further strengthened.
