“Goa has a healthy tradition of celebrating all the festivals. Goa is transforming into a developed State. Let’s constantly move ahead on the road towards progress. I appeal to the people to be instrumental in the development of the State and urge them to unite together to take the State to a new height of prosperity”, he added.

“Let us celebrate this momentous occasion with enthusiasm and renewed joy. I pray for the well-being of the people. May the celebrations of Dussehra bring happiness, peace, harmony and prosperity to everyone. May the auspicious occasion foster brotherhood among all,” the Chief Minister concluded.

Wishing everyone a Very Happy Dussehra.
