Itanagar, Apr 24: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General K.T. Parnaik (Retd.) has extended greetings to the people of the State, on the festive occasion of Gumkum Gumpa and Moh Mol.
Greeting particularly the Puroik community on the joyous occasion of Gumkum Gumpa, he expressed hope that the celebration will continue to strengthen the spirit of brotherhood amongst the members of the community and also the other tribes of the State.
In his message, the Governor said that Arunachal Pradesh comprises numerous tribes, among which the Puroik community holds significant importance. Owing to traditional customs, development initiatives reached this community belatedly. I earnestly hope that my Puroik brethren will proactively pursue education and prioritize health, as well as access the benefits offered by government programs, he said.
Greeting the Tangsa tribe in particular, on the festive occasion of Moh Mol, Parnaik expressed hope that the festival of the Tangsa community of Changlang district will usher in peace, communal harmony and prosperity for all.  
In his message, the Governor said that Moh-Mol is basically an agricultural related festival, which signifies the end of an agricultural activity or beginning of crop season. Since time immemorial, the Tangsa community has faithfully upheld these ancient traditions, celebrating this festival with immense joy and customary fervor. It is my hope that this admirable tradition endures in the future, safeguarding the rich cultural legacy of both the State and the Tangsa people, he said.
On this joyous occasion, joining our Tangsa brethren, I offer my prayers for bumper harvest, wealth and for longevity of the Nong Culture, the Governor said in his message.
