ITANAGAR, Apr 15: Governor of Arunachal Pradesh BD Mishra wished the people of the state on the occasion of Longte festival.
“Centuries before, our wise forebears had ordained restrictions of movement during the Longte festivities. This was a type of self quarantine for body protection from outside infections. The relevance of such isolation, observed during the Longte festival, has got revalidated against the challenges of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19)”, the governor said.
