in maintaining cleanliness outside their respective residences too, as they do
to make their house neat and clean.

places to drop plastic bottles.
Concluding

to live together as one and join hands to take the State to a new height of
development.
He also

the coming rainy season, in various hill and valley areas of the State and in
this regard he sought support of the people.
Delivering
his Presidential speech, Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Yumnam
Khemchand Singh stressed on the importance of remembering and honouring our
great forefathers for their heroic efforts to drive the Burmese soldiers away
during the period of Seven Years Devastation. Maharaj Narsingh was one of the
