Kohima, Feb 25 (UNI) Governor K Shankaranarayanan has urged the people to give up animosity and hatred, created by narrow vision, to uphold the true essence of the Sekrenyi festival.

The Sekrenyi is a festival of the Angami tribe for the purification of one's soul.

Addressing the Sekrenyi festival at a local ground here last afternoon, Chief Guest Mr Shankaranarayanan said that festivals are an occasion to take a break, rejoice and have fun. It may also help in cementing the bonds of friendship and brotherhood, he asserted.

He also requested Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio to invite all important people from the neighbouring states so that the festival will see more participants as well as gain more exposure.

Mr Rio, in his address, stressed on peace and harmony, well-being and prosperity of the people and development of the state.
