Manipur Governor Najma Heptulla, Chief Minister N Biren Singh and his ministers on Friday extended their greetings to the people of Manipur for New Year 2021. The governor, in her New Year message, called for building a peaceful and prosperous society.

“On this Happy New Year 2021, let us collectively resolve to dedicate ourselves towards building a peaceful, prosperous and harmonious society. Once again, I wish a prosperous New Year for everyone,” she added.

The chief minister, in his message for New Year 2021, stated that the year 2020 has been a difficult year. The COVID-19 pandemic gave a wakeup call to the reality of how unprepared nations across the world were. The pandemic tested the limits of human civilization. Economies suffered.

“We are yet to fully realise the impact of the damage done. Precious lives were lost to the virus. The first wave could be slowing down. Yet as experience in other populations has shown, there could be a second wave. There is renewed fear of a new strain, more virulent and more easily transmissible… Yet, we have now survived as a population and I am hopeful that our experience and trauma in the last one year will make us better prepared for the future,” the CM said.

“I am hopeful there will be greater cooperation amongst the stakeholders because there is so much at stake and so many targets to meet. With continuing support, allies and opponents all, I do hope we will achieve in our mandate to deliver upon our promises”.

The chief minister also emphasized on healthcare.

“Let us take extra care for the health of our near and dear ones, of ourselves and our communities. Let us resolve to do what is rightfully needed to be done. May God grant us the wisdom and the strength to meet every challenge successfully. I wish the people of Manipur a very happy and prosperous New Year 2021,” the CM said.
