On the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, I extend my warm greetings to people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

This is the most widely celebrated festival of Jain community and it marks the birth of Lord Mahavir, the exponent of Jainism. Lord Mahavir advocated the path of peace and non-violence.

Let the teachings of Lord Mahavir inspire the people of these beautiful Islands to imbibe the values of love, peace and harmony in their daily life.

Lt Gen (Retd) Bhopinder Singh
