They sought the blessings of Almighty to render their respective duties well for the welfare of the people of the state and prayed that ethos of communal harmony, brotherhood and amity should be further cemented in state and Punjab should emerge as an epitome of peace, progress and prosperity. Both the leaders also paid homage to the great martyrs at Jallianwala Bagh memorial and said that this place will always inspire the younger generations for selfless service of nation.
Interacting with the media persons, the Punjab Governor said that he is blessed to have got an opportunity to bow down his head on this pious land. He said that the life and philosophy of great Sikh Gurus has since ages inspired the humanity for selfless service. Gulab Chand Kataria said that he too had prayed before Almighty to give him strength for discharging his duty well for development of Punjab and Chandigarh.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister welcomed the new Governor to the state and expressed hope that state will be immensely benefitted from his rich administrative experience. He envisioned that both of them will work within their own jurisdictions and ensure that Punjab scripts a new success story in every field. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that together they will ensure that Punjab witnesses overall growth and progress in every field.
