In his message, the Governor said that Sarok Festival reflects the deep bond between mankind and nature and at the same time, it also facilitates in carrying forward our age-old cultural heritage and customs. "I wish that the younger generations should get connected with their roots by taking active part in the celebration and be proud of our cultural diversity," he said.
As traditionally Sarok celebration is a prayer to Mother Earth for well-being of all mankind, CM Khandu offered his prayers for peace, prosperity and progress of every community of Arunachal Pradesh.
“Sarok, though celebrated by the Akas of East Kameng, is an occasion for all people to come together and simply be happy. Let’s celebrate happiness and spread happiness across our beautiful state which is distinct for its diverse communities, traditions and culture but take pride as Arunachalees,” Khandu said in a message here this evening.
“As Sarok drives away evil spirits, let’s drive away the evils of hatred, violence and corruption and join together to take our state on the path of accelerated development. Let’s all join our Aka brothers and sisters of East Kameng in their celebrations,” he added.
The Chief Minister congratulated the Akas of East Kameng for keeping alive their culture and taking pride in their heritage while emphasizing on preservation of indigenous cultures distinct only to Arunachal Pradesh.
